What AI cannot do

- Maintain leadership judgment on substantive responses
What AI cannot do
- Substitute dashboards for actual leadership decisions
- Replace teacher knowledge of specific students
- Make data useful without organizational follow-through

What AI cannot do
- Substitute narratives for substantive change
