AI ROI Calculation.
Realistic returns without hype.
Vendor slides promise 300% ROI. Reality is more complex. We calculate AI business cases with real costs, conservative assumptions and transparent methodology - before budget is approved.
Conservatively calculated. No vendor promises.
Why AI ROI calculations are often misleading
Vendor presentations show ROI figures based on best-case assumptions.
Implementation costs are systematically underestimated: integration, training, maintenance missing.
The 'time savings' effect is overestimated because the actual process change is lacking.
Nobody asks what happens when the AI model needs retraining after 12 months.
