Reported result

No quantified detection, incident reduction, or cost result disclosed.

What this does not establish

Company interview from a senior MPL field-services/planning executive; operational claims are company-reported and lack independent performance data or specific rollout coverage.

MPL/MPC absent from the existing 202-record initiative register; this is an explicit operational AI use case, not the earlier 2024 general statement that MPC was deploying AI/ML.
