Domain knowledge
Humans can do this. AI cannot.

Let’s be honest:
How often do business analysts simply correct “defective” data in their heads?
“If column B is empty, we’ll take A.”
“The join is weird, but it’ll do for Q3.”
We call this domain knowledge.
Humans can do this.
AI cannot.
It has no intuition.
Only input.
If context is missing from the code, pragmatism becomes a risk.
The real question is not whether your reports are accurate today.
It’s whether your data warehouses are built for users who think literally.
How often do you correct errors in your head?
