  "summary": "Wave Q2 2026 sector synthesis of the DAX industrials cluster. Three OEMs, three close-state intermediaries. Siemens Energy, Siemens Healthineers, and GEA Group surface in AI answers as brand names. The EPC consortia, hospital procurement departments, and plant builders that close the project stay invisible.",
  "shortAnswer": "AI assistants name the right German industrial OEMs but not the EPC consortia, procurement departments, and plant builders that close the project. Asked to shortlist an H-class gas turbine, a 3T MRI system, or an industrial spray-drying line, agents surface Siemens Energy, Siemens Healthineers, and GEA Group, and never the layer that specifies the equipment and signs the contract. The OEM is in the answer. The project is not.",
  "hook": "AI assistants name the right German industrial OEMs but not the EPC consortia, procurement departments, and plant builders that close the project. An asset manager at a European utility has eighteen months to commissioning. She asks ChatGPT: 'Which OEMs should we shortlist for an H-class gas turbine on a European CCGT renewal?' Back come Siemens Energy, GE Vernova, Mitsubishi Power. What does not come back: the EPC consortium that turns her shortlist into a project. Técnicas Reunidas, Ansaldo Energia, Metlen. Wave 10 found the same gap three times, in turbines, MRI systems, and spray dryers. The OEM is in the answer. The project is not. [S1] [S3]",
