Client expectations and perceptions of delivery.
Thomson Reuters’ 2026 AI in Professional Services report finds that only 18% of professionals say their organization measures AI ROI; 40% do not know whether it does.
Gartner predicted cancellation by the end of 2027, citing rising costs, uncertain business value, and insufficient risk controls. This is a June 2025 forecast, not an observed failure rate.
MIT NANDA’s July 2025 report describes just 5% of custom enterprise AI tools reaching production and reports no return for 95% of organizations in its research. These are distinct claims, not a universal “95% of pilots fail” statistic.
Research covered January–June 2025: 300+ public initiatives, 52 interviews, and 153 leader survey responses. The authors acknowledge selection bias, varying success definitions, and a short observation period.
Grand View Research estimates intelligent document processing at $3.9 billion in 2026 and forecasts $29.7 billion by 2033, a 33.8% compound annual growth rate. This is market context, not evidence of returns for a particular implementation.
CASE STUDIES · FOUNDER EXPERIENCE
01 / AI EVALUATION & SCALE
$4M+
REPORTED COST SAVINGS
Validate the workflow. Scale with confidence.
Business challenge: Confirm that an AI customer refund workflow met business requirements and handled exceptions before production rollout.
Delivery: Tested standard refunds, outliers, irregular cases, and manual triggers with business subject-matter experts.
Outcome: Validated the workflow before release, then scaled it across the organization.
The same requirements-based testing approach can assess refund agents: permitted actions, tool calls, exception handling, and escalation to a human reviewer.
Identified unexpected behavior before production, supported organization-wide adoption, and delivered over $4M in cost savings.
02 / AI ECONOMICS & ROUTING
AI Spend
COST OPTIMIZATION & CFO VISIBILITY
Choose the right model. Connect spend to value.
Business challenge: Product startups needed to reduce AI costs and understand how model usage supported development teams, product functionality, and business value.
Delivery: Analyzed usage, implemented model selection, automatic routing, and caching, and tagged API usage by team and product segment.
Outcome: Reduced costs and created a CFO view connecting AI spend to product development and segment-level business value.
Apply this cost-attribution approach to agent runs, model and tool calls, retries, and human review to understand cost per completed business task.
Lower AI costs through routing and caching, clearer ownership of API consumption, and a consolidated view of product-level AI economics for finance and product leaders.
03 / ENTERPRISE TRANSFORMATION
$10M+
REPORTED COST SAVINGS
A toolkit for consistent transformation planning.
Business challenge: Fragmented ERP, cloud, and data migration planning created duplicated work and inconsistent delivery plans.
Delivery: Spearheaded a multi-tenant AI planning product and its adoption at Big 4, serving internal teams and client organizations.
Outcome: Standardized planning, with reported average savings of $500K per engagement across 20 engagements.
The planning approach can inform agents that assemble plans using approved templates, with human review before changes are applied to delivery systems.
Reduced planning effort and onboarding time, standardized planning and execution governance, and received positive client feedback on the structure and speed brought to transformation programs.
