So imagine that you're in a corporate setting, and there are clues everywhere, but they're scattered all over. (1:03 - 1:18) A spreadsheet of how the sales are dropping in the company in the form of a text. Then you have a heat map from your website, which shows fewer clicks in the form of an image. And then you can think of your customer support calls, which mention a recurring problem. (1:19 - 1:33) This is an audio. And one more example on the video side could be a competitor's ad, which is trending online. So by itself, like each of these clues, they won't tell you much.
