What if Parquet didn’t just store data, but stored knowledge?
RAGs are starving for structured data with context.
What if we embedded ontology links, units, provenance and entity relationships directly into Parquet metadata?

Data, ML, GenAI or humans:
Who makes the best decisions?
📊 Data gives you the historical facts.
⚙️ Machine Learning (ML) predicts outcomes but struggles with the unexpected.
🤖 Generative AI (GenAI) generates ideas.
🤷♀️ Humans? Creative and visionary, but slow and biased.
The answer? Combine them.

How much money has your company wasted on data projects with no real value?
✅ Don’t chase shiny tools.
✅ Start with real business problems.
✅ Build tailored, actionable data products to solve them.
✅ Ask: Does this help customers/employees?
🚫 If not, stop.
Simplicity wins.
