## Sources read, web
None. All external claims hedged; no URLs fetched or cited in post.
## External links in the post, last verified
None. Post uses only internal links.
## Claims dropped or hedged
- Gartner "85% of AI projects fail" figure: hedged to directional claim only. Reason: year-specific numbers behind paywall and vary by methodology; cited as widely noted without specific percentage.
- IBM Watson Health oncology details (specific hospitals, specific failure modes): kept only the broad press-reported pattern, hedged as "by most accounts."
- McKinsey organizational change argument: dropped as a named citation; folded into general observation about AI value requiring org change, no organizational name attached.
