  2. No specific AI use cases, products, or tools named.
  3. No AI-related productivity metrics or outcomes disclosed.
  4. No analyst questions were asked about AI, and management did not volunteer further detail beyond a single passing reference.
  5. It is unclear whether 'emerging technologies, including AI' refers to internal tools, customer-facing features, or both.
