AI ROI

Is your AI investment creating value, or just consuming budget?

Most generative AI pilots never produce a measurable return. The difference isn't the model — it's whether anyone measured the right thing.

The cost of this problem

Widely cited industry analysis puts generative AI pilot failure rates as high as 95% when measured against actual business return. The pattern is consistent: activity gets counted — licenses issued, prompts run, pilots launched — while nobody is tracking cost per business outcome. By the time a board asks where this is creating value, most organizations don't have an answer built from their own numbers.
