Transactional data such as clicks and purchases arrives in continuous streams, and a model trained on this data can be used as long as the underlying stream is stable. By contrast, many data-driven investigative stories are never repeated. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's model for finding documents describing sexual abuse by doctors will never be useful again, because there is not another backlog of 100,000 reports to examine. In such cases the cost of building a custom Al solution cannot be amortized over multiple stories.\"",
