PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Jev pulls AI from chat back to automated decision-making; enterprises pay for reliability and low cost, not fluent conversation. Giants have already followed with similar products, but the track has just started, and long-term retention and reliability remain unproven. The signal is clear: in automation scenarios, executable beats readable.
