A CrowdFlower (Figure Eight) survey found data professionals spend about 60% of their time on these preparatory activities, compared to only 3% on model training. Similar figures are echoed in Forbes and Gartner reports, reinforcing that effective AI depends more on high-quality data preparation than on the modeling step itself.The truth is, AI is only as good as the data you feed it. Whether you’re a marketing team, a comms department, a public sector organisation or a small business, the messy reality of your data will make or break your AI adoption.Need More Support?
