Engineer discovers his AI validation engine fails because architecture forces guessing on business context; adding a Discovery Layer with structured metadata before the LLM eliminates inference needs. For tech leaders, production AI failures often stem from bad architecture, not weak models—good design reduces what the model must infer; bad design forces it to compensate for missing system logic.
