Shared language for production Data & AI.
Definitions the working team can use. Each topic is vocabulary — the argument lives in the papers, the proof in client results, the artifact in STS Labs.
AI Strategy
Align investment, readiness, governance and value with a business objective — not a model.
Supervised Learning
Learn from known outcomes: features, labels, validation, drift and explanation.
Data Management
Architecture, quality, lineage, stewardship and the platforms that keep context trustworthy.
AI Development
Classical ML through generative systems — chosen for the workflow, not the headline.
Technology
Cloud, APIs, pipelines, serving and MLOps so implementation can be operated.
Business Performance
Decision support, KPIs and process redesign with human accountability intact.
Topics
Start with lineage, governance, readiness or the control topics if you are mapping an estate. Use the learning topics when a working session needs a shared term.
