Reported result
Company-reported model processing time: five days to under two hours. Separately, the AI page identifies potential 15% lower annual maintenance hours at Angel over five years; not an achieved reduction.
What this does not establish
The earlier audit checked the January article alone. No independent validation, achieved maintenance-hours result or full costs. Global rollout was planned for 2026; completion remains unverified.
The maintenance-hours estimate now has a traceable source. Whether it becomes a saving depends on adoption, reliability and costs.

Maintenance scheduling model compares historical performance with reliability targets.
This is identified potential. The source does not report those hours as already avoided. Reliability outcomes and implementation costs would determine the value of changing maintenance intervals.
A source grade describes provenance, not independent verification. This is a research profile, not a measure of net return. Report a correction.
