Customers don't need to write requirements or enter data every day. Only four things need their help.

Just four steps.
Agree on the required business results with management and finance.
Select metrics around those results, each with clear calculation rules and upstream inputs.
Work back from metrics to required inputs. Do not collect data you will not use.
Compare platform results with on-site records, item by item. Accept only after they agree.
None of these tasks requires daily data reporting. Big Cloud handles everything else.
Features are the means. Business results are the product.
In one stamping pilot, the team completed machine connection, data checks and V1 business results in about 16 cumulative working hours. This is a specific case, not a delivery-time promise for every project.
Integration is not a prerequisite. Systems suffer from duplicate entry, inconsistent definitions and data lag, and integrations need long-term maintenance, so we take factual data directly from the equipment first. Existing systems can stay and be connected where feasible, but they are not a precondition.
No. Customers only need to help with four things: a one-time base ledger, confirming three financial definitions, selecting and confirming downtime reasons, and handling on-site issues when alerted. The ledger is one-time work, not a daily task.
No. Deterministic results such as effective strokes, actual output, downtime, cost and profit are all calculated with validated rules and formulas, not inferred by large models. AI handles anomaly diagnosis, root-cause analysis and improvement suggestions.
Cloud or on-premises deployment can be assessed according to the project.
Start on the factory floor. Verify data, rules and business results before deciding how to scale.
