This guide covers the most common AI/ML job support scenarios and how real-time expert help resolves them."
+      sections={[
+        { heading: 'AI/ML Project Pressure in 2026', body: 'The pace of AI/ML tooling has accelerated dramatically. Engineers are expected to work across Python, cloud ML platforms (SageMaker, Vertex AI, Azure ML), vector databases, LLM APIs, and traditional ML pipelines simultaneously. Production issues in ML systems are harder to debug than traditional software bugs because failures are often probabilistic, data-dependent, or infrastructure-related rather than deterministic code errors.' },
+        { heading: 'Model Debugging', body: 'Common model debugging scenarios include:', bullets: ['Model accuracy degrading in production without any code changes (data drift)', 'Training pipeline running but producing worse results than before (silent data leakage)', 'Model serving returning inconsistent predictions (serialisation issues or version mismatch)', 'Inference latency spiking unexpectedly (batch size or hardware configuration issues)'] },
+        { heading: 'ML Pipeline Failures', body: 'ML pipelines fail differently from traditional ETL. Common failure points include feature store inconsistencies between training and serving, data schema changes that break downstream steps, resource limits on GPU or memory-intensive training jobs, and dependency conflicts in complex Python environments.' },
+        { heading: 'Python Notebooks to Production', body: 'One of the most common AI/ML job support requests is help converting a working notebook into a production-ready pipeline. This involves refactoring for modularity, adding proper logging and error handling, containerising the training and inference code, and wiring it into a CI/CD or workflow orchestration system (Airflow, Prefect, Kubeflow).' },
+        { heading: 'Cloud ML Workflow Support', body: 'AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, and Azure ML each have distinct operational models. Common support scenarios include SageMaker endpoint deployment failures, Vertex AI pipeline DAG errors, Azure ML compute cluster provisioning issues, and cost overruns from inefficient training job configurations.' },
+        { heading: 'GenAI Integration Support', body: 'Teams integrating LLM APIs into applications face prompt engineering challenges, token limit management, streaming response handling, evaluation framework setup, and cost optimisation. Support covers the full GenAI integration stack from API calls through to production RAG architectures.' },

+        { q: 'How do you debug a failing ML pipeline?', a: 'Check each step in isolation — data ingestion, feature transformation, model training, validation, and serving. Most ML pipeline failures are at data boundaries: schema changes, missing values, or distribution shifts between training and production data.' },

MLOps support focuses on the infrastructure and deployment layer — CI/CD for ML, model monitoring, drift detection, and serving infrastructure.' },
+        { q: 'How do you get help with Python data science notebooks?', a: 'Share the notebook and describe the expected vs actual output. An expert reviews the data transformations, model code, and evaluation logic to identify where the disconnect is — whether it is a data issue, a code bug, or an incorrect evaluation metric.' },
