FAQ

Questions to resolve before vendor selection.

Is AI2COE affiliated with SparkCognition?

No. SparkCognition is referenced only as a third-party alternative that buyers may evaluate. AI2COE and Industrial IQ are independent unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Should a buyer choose ReliabilityMind AI instead of SparkCognition?

Not automatically. Use ReliabilityMind AI when the immediate need is a read-only diagnostic with evidence, confidence tiers, report output, and no ERP write-back before broader spend.

What data is needed for the diagnostic-first path?

Typical inputs include Work Order, Description, plus owner context where available.

What makes this comparison evidence-safe?

Fit, operating boundaries, and buyer decision sequence are stated without fixed financial-return promises, certification claims, customer-proof claims, or benchmark-superiority claims.

Can both paths be used together?

Yes. Industrial IQ can define and prioritize the problem first; a platform, service, or advisory alternative can then execute the funded remediation or operating program.
