Thank you for purchasing the MEAP for Financial AI in Practice. This book is written for anyone—data scientist, engineer, product manager, or business leader—who has ever looked at a powerful AI model and asked, "But how do we turn this into a real, profitable, and compliant financial application?"

I’ve seen brilliant, technically perfect models get shelved because they were just models, not applications. They couldn't answer the one question that matters: "So what? How does this system make our company more money or lose less?" This book is my attempt to share the hard-won lessons from that journey—the playbook for moving beyond isolated algorithms to building complete, value-driven financial applications.
