Three business models are defined: data as a competitive advantage, data as a product, or data that merely improves existing offerings; companies like GE buy billion‑dollar software to capture that value. Practical pipeline is to harvest and harmonize sources, apply cataloging and master‑data discipline, then run AI/ML on cloud platforms using data virtualization and an “answer fabric” for inference. Examples: soil sensors raise potato yields, IoT enables dynamic auto insurance pricing, Experian‑style scoring finds ~60M upsellable customers from a 300M base. 1% improvement translates to millions.
