Corrections · Agent Mode AI

The public record of every correction applied to an Agent Mode AI article. When a tracked claim moves from Holding to Partial or Not holding, the correction is dated and listed here — and never removed. If a piece is retracted entirely (fabricated sources, unfixable errors), that goes on /retractions/ instead.

Date	Kind	Claim / Article	Note
19 Apr 2026	Partial	Manufacturing 4.0: How multi-agent systems reduce downtime by 30% AM-019	Body rewritten. Original headline number (30% downtime reduction) survives against current case-study data. New analytical spine: the audit-trail architecture separates wins from stalls. Status moved from rewrite-in-progress Partial placeholder to Up. Next review 60 days out because architectural claims age slower than pricing claims.
19 Apr 2026	Partial	The hidden costs of agentic AI: a CFO's guide to true TCO and ROI modeling AM-020	Body rewritten from WP-era slop. Status moves from rewrite-in-progress placeholder to Up. New analytical spine: the TCO underestimate is cross-departmental cost-attribution failure, not hidden costs. Five cost categories named with budget owners. 60-day review cadence.
19 Apr 2026	Partial	From DMAIC to AI agents: how traditional optimization methods accelerate agentic AI success AM-021	Body rewritten from WP-era slop. Status moves from rewrite-in-progress placeholder to Up. New thesis: the causation runs the opposite direction from the vendor narrative — the measurement discipline was the prerequisite, the methodology name doesn't matter. 60-day review.
19 Apr 2026	Partial	The agentic AI success formula: what 171% average ROI actually hides AM-022	Body rewritten from WP-era slop (7-patterns vendor framework with fabricated case studies). New thesis: bimodal distribution, not normal — the 171% average describes no specific deployment. Business-line kill-switch ownership is the single distinguishing factor. Cross-links to AM-020 + AM-021 on the shared organisational-precondition thread.
19 Apr 2026	Partial	Google AI Mode restaurant booking: the template for every partner-aggregation vertical AM-023	Body rewritten from WP-era slop (the '$50 Billion Revolution' headline and 'act within 90 days' crisis-FOMO framing were both fabrications). New thesis: restaurant booking is a template, not the story. Named 5 enterprise-relevant aggregation verticals (business travel, expense, procurement, ATS, HR service) and the API-backend-vs-destination choice incumbents face. Next review in 60 days.
