AI ROI

AI ROI (Return on Investment) is the measurable value generated by AI adoption relative to the cost of deploying and maintaining AI tools and programs. For most business applications, the primary driver of AI ROI is time saved — hours per person per week recovered from tasks AI now handles faster. A team of 30 saving three hours per person per week at a fully-loaded cost of £40/hour generates approximately £187,000 annually in recovered capacity.

AI ROI compounds over time as teams find more use cases and become more fluent. The payback period on a well-run AI deployment program is typically measured in weeks, not months.
