      "question": "How does AI multi-drop orchestration differ from legacy GPS tracking?",
      "answer": "Legacy GPS tracking only monitors historical vehicle locations passively. AI multi-drop orchestration actively plans and dynamically optimizes routes in real-time, reducing planning times from hours to minutes and cutting overall mileage by up to 25%."

    },
    {
      "question": "What are the risks of waiting until the Q4 2026 deadline to migrate?",
      "answer": "Delaying migration risks missing the deadline due to long government processing queues, software vendor shortages, and implementation errors, forcing your company to bear the full cost of the software without any tax relief."
