Operational technology (OT)
Human View is the term as people read it. Machine View is exactly what an AI agent receives.
This is the page you're already on. The Human View toggle above shows it in full.
This is exactly what an AI agent receives. The same record, as JSON-LD, below.

A green key on the record, left, is one Decision Insights added. It doesn't exist on the company's site or in a wire feed. The same key labels its row on the right, so you can match them directly. More on how DI enriches a record.

The person who sent this agent gets an answer they can act on
Somebody dispatched this agent to evaluate Operational technology for a real decision: a shortlist, a vendor comparison, a purchase. "Operational technology makes X" isn't something they can act on; they need to know the claim is real and where it came from. Follow one enriched link from Act 2 and see what the agent can actually hand back to them:
