The JPMorgan team identifies the demo-to-production gap: AI systems that perform impressively on clean benchmark data often fail on real enterprise documents that are messy, inconsistent, and formatted in unexpected ways. The gap between the demo environment and the production environment determines adoption success.

Highlights

Enterprise AI deployment requires understanding documents as they actually exist — messy combinations of text, tables, figures, and formatting — not clean plaintext
The JPMorgan team argues that enterprise AI will not succeed until models can reason over documents as they actually appear in the real world: PDFs with tables, charts, headers, footnotes, and cross-references, not clean plaintext extracted by preprocessing.
