80% of product teams say AI helps them ship faster.
But customers aren't seeing value any sooner.
Why? 69% say decision-making hasn't sped up, even with AI. And 86% agree that as shipping gets easier, deciding what to build matters more.
AI moved the bottleneck from building to choosing.
You don't fix a decision bottleneck with more shipping capacity. You fix it with better inputs: customer evidence that's already organized, linked, and ready when the prioritization conversation starts.
