ROI Case File No. 041 | Dimensional Discrepancy at Construction Site

[TOC]

Chapter One: The Incoming Request (Prologue)

November 1891, a telegram arrived at 221B Baker Street. The sender was identified as "Klee Corporation."

"The delivered parts differed from the blueprints..."

As Watson read aloud, the text revealed chaos seeping between the lines. At a massive plant equipment construction site supporting 50 years of history and ¥17 billion in revenue, a single blueprint discrepancy had halted the entire process.

"Without automating blueprint checks with AI, we cannot avoid the risk of construction halts."

That urgent voice seemed to echo through the fog-shrouded London streets.

Chapter Two: Three Detectives' Perspectives (Frames of Thought)

🟦 Gemini (Compass of Reason):
"Let's break this down with KPT Analysis, shall we? CAD check automation has true value in 'design philosophy standardization' rather than simple error detection. Keep: 50 years of experience, Problem: Double-check formalization due to staff shortage, Try: Standardization through AI implementation."

🟧 Claude (Narrative Alchemist):
"Construction site interruptions. AI doesn't understand that frustration and irritation. But this one sentence, couldn't we convey it with more 'feeling'? Shared blueprints contain 'empathy' in the name of designer intent."

⬜️ ChatGPT (Catalyst of Concepts):
"That story sounds worth expanding, doesn't it? Hypothesis: Staff shortages have made double-checks perfunctory. AI automation isn't mere efficiency improvement but groundwork for recurrence prevention."

Chapter Three: Dissecting Solutions and Structures (Case Details)

In plant equipment construction sites, a single blueprint error generates tens of millions of yen in losses. Klee Corporation's trust, built over half a century since its 1971 establishment, could waver from just one dimensional discrepancy.

🟧 Claude: "What we see here isn't merely a technical problem. It's friction between craftsmen's 'eyes' accumulated over 50 years and digital age 'speed.'"

Site workers look at blueprints and sense through years of experience that "something's wrong." However, mechanisms to verbalize that intuition and systematically check it haven't kept pace.

⬜️ ChatGPT: "In other words, AI check systems aren't merely automation tools but 'memory vessels' accumulating craftsmen's intuition as organizational knowledge."

Chapter Four: Systematic Analysis Summary

🟦 Gemini: "5W1H organization makes this clear."

• Who: Plant equipment factory company with 50-year history
• What: Avoiding construction halt risks through automated blueprint checking
• When: Current timing with severe staff shortages
• Where: Entire process from blueprint creation to checking to field construction
• Why: Avoiding fatal impact where single errors halt entire processes
• How: Implementing AI-powered automated blueprint checking systems

"SWOT Analysis reveals Strength (50 years experience), Weakness (staff shortage), Opportunity (AI technology maturation), Threat (construction halt risk)."

Chapter Five: Conclusion and Cross-Reinforced Hypotheses

🟧 Claude (Storytelling Summary):
"Klee Corporation's true challenge is 'bridging tradition and innovation.' Inheriting 50 years of craftsman spirit to the next generation through AI's new language. This transcends mere efficiency—it's corporate culture evolution."

⬜️ ChatGPT (Insights from Analysis):
"What emerges from this case is that 'how to utilize existing knowledge' is crucial for AI implementation success. Rather than simple replacement, constructing relationships where AI learns from and amplifies human experience is key."

🟦 Gemini (Logical Hypothesis Reinforcement):
"Considering ROI calculations, given the reality that single construction halts generate tens of millions of yen in losses, AI blueprint checking system investment recovery periods are within one year. This is logically justified investment."

Epilogue: Resonance and Anticipation for the Next Case

Watson reflected before the fireplace.

"What impressed me about this case was the perspective that AI doesn't replace humans but becomes a 'device' for organizationally remembering human experience and intuition. Klee Corporation's 50-year history wasn't merely past legacy but future investment."

Watching three detectives approach problems from different angles and ultimately converge on one truth exemplified the very process of complex problem-solving facing modern enterprises.

Watching the petitioner's silhouette disappear into the fog, I murmured:

"True detectives see not what is visible, but what is invisible."

Sensing another case already waiting beyond the door, Baker Street night deepens...
