AI ROI audit
An AI ROI audit maps every meaningful AI use case, subscription, workflow, owner, cost, risk, and expected result, then compares the promise with evidence. The audit separates useful deployment from theater, identifies waste, and gives leadership a ranked action plan for stop, consolidate, govern, or reinvest decisions.
