High-granularity gaming analysis mirrors logistics more than you\u2019d expect \u2014 both fields suffer not from one big mistake, but from hundreds of small ones no one noticed in time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI\u2019s Superpower: Turning Messy Operations Into Clear Signals<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A supply chain looks like a gigantic, messy machine.
