       - Bullet: Conditional dependencies
       - Bullet: Business impact quantification
       - Bullet: Alternative path identification
       - Icon: Network with highlighted path

    Arrows:
    - Each AI component receives data from Core Graph (upward arrows)
    - Each AI component sends insights back to Core Graph (curved feedback arrows)

    **Side Component 1 - Machine Learning Models (Left Side):**

    Vertical stack of ML model types:
    - "Anomaly Detection Models" (neural network icon)
    - "Classification Models" (decision tree icon)

    - "NLP Models" (text/language icon)
    - "Entity Resolution" (matching icon)

    Visual: Vertical stack with border
    Color: Light purple
    Arrows: Bidirectional to Layer 3 components (dashed lines showing "trained by" and "used by")

    **Side Component 2 - Human Interface (Right Side):**
