What data does Industrial IQ need?

Industrial IQ works from CSV exports. Required fields vary by engine, and the docs list minimum viable uploads plus best uploads.

Are results guaranteed savings?

No. ROI pages label benchmark, estimate, assumption, limitation, and customer-specific diagnostic requirements.

Does Industrial IQ write back to ERP?

No. Industrial IQ creates evidence-backed diagnostics, reports, actions, and governance review without ERP write-back.

Inventory Carrying Cost

Estimates the annual cost of holding duplicate, dead, slow-moving, or excess inventory under transparent assumptions.

Model summary: Industrial IQ combines uploaded data, source-fit quality, mapped readiness, engine evidence, confidence tier, and human-review status. Formula details are summarized for buyer interpretation, not used as guaranteed savings claims.

Limitations: benchmark and estimate values remain assumptions until a customer-specific uploaded-data diagnostic is run and reviewed.
