ensure business and data requirements remain aligned to intended outcomes throughout delivery.\nIdentify where AI can be applied to enhance decision-making, automation, analytics, and operational efficiency, ensuring use cases are grounded in practical feasibility.\nStructure ambiguous client problem statements into clear, actionable workstreams;
