AI ROI

The return on investment from an AI initiative, measured as the ratio of net benefit to total investment over a defined period. AI ROI is notoriously hard to quantify upfront but is increasingly demanded by CFOs; it spans hard savings (labour automation), soft gains (decision quality), and risk-adjusted value.

AI Business Case

A structured argument for an AI investment that quantifies expected benefits (revenue uplift, cost reduction, risk mitigation), costs (build, run, compliance), risks, and strategic alignment. A robust AI business case is the gateway to executive and board approval.

Production AI

AI systems that are live in enterprise environments, processing real transactions and influencing business decisions at scale. Production AI requires robust MLOps practices, monitoring, compliance controls, and SLAs—a significantly higher bar than prototype or pilot systems.
