Public-housing maintenance leadership wants AI-estimated story points treated as the team’s forecast. What should the SM/TC coach?

Short Explanation
A housing work-order bot can guess hours the way a vending machine guesses your snack. That guess is not the team's forecast. Empiricism still lives in the people who did last PI's roofs and boilers.
Full Explanation
AI-generated point estimates can be a conversation starter, not a substitute for the Agile Team's empirical forecast. SAFe teams inspect prior delivery and current capacity; a model cannot own that commitment. Publishing AI points as official, blending them into a frozen number, or replacing team estimation with the PO running the model all create fake precision. The SM/TC protects the team's forecast conversation.
