Your AI isn't failing. Your data architecture is. Every failed AI initiative has the same autopsy, and it's almost never the model. The model was fine.

The vector store that flew in the demo fell over at production scale. The compliance team found out after it shipped. Enterprises are spending fortunes on AI and discovering, one postmortem at a time, that AI is a data architecture problem wearing a machine-learning costume. This is the ...

CQRS bolted onto systems that needed a database index. This book is the corrective: the honest, comprehensive, design-level guide to event-driven architecture that actually works in production.
