STORY ANGLES
The Flow Equation by Gustavo Jose Valente

1. AI is helping companies do more, faster. If the constraint has not moved,
   technology only accelerates the congestion.

2. The hidden reason growth stops converting into profit in mid-sized companies.

3. Why the busiest company in an industry is often the slowest.

4. What an aerospace engineer learned about delay that applies to every business.

5. The arithmetic behind a 25% operational gain that turns $5,000 into $17,500.

EVIDENCE

Client names are withheld, in the book and here, but the figures are real.

- In a metal finishing operation, 26% more throughput became more than
  $5 million a year in additional sales, with no new equipment and no
  additional people.
- In a vehicle upfitting manufacturer, throughput roughly tripled, on-time
  delivery rose above 95%, and cycle time fell by about half.
- In an industrial products company, project durations fell by roughly half.
