Why Most AI ROI Calculations Are Wrong
AI adoption is happening faster than most organizations can track it. And the way ROI is typically calculated only makes the problem worse.
Here’s what leaders are up against:
AI usage is largely invisible.
A significant share of enterprise AI activity happens outside approved tools, dashboards, or reporting systems.
“Time saved” isn’t a business metric.
Productivity claims don’t translate cleanly into revenue, cost savings, or risk reduction.

Early adopters skew the data.
ROI models often reflect power users, not enterprise-wide reality.
High-stakes decisions are made without evidence.
Workforce planning, budget allocation, and security posture are being shaped by assumptions instead of facts.

AI ROI Is About Value Creation, Not Activity
AI ROI is not “how often people use tools.” It’s measurable value creation at scale, minus risk and waste. A simple way to think about it:
(Value × Scale) – Risk – Waste = Real ROI
Value
Revenue growth, service quality, throughput, risk avoided
Scale
Adoption across teams, not just a few power users
Risk
Security, data leakage, compliance exposure
Waste
Redundant tools, unused licenses, shadow spend
You can’t measure ROI on what you can’t see.
How Lanai Makes AI ROI Measurable
Lanai provides the visibility layer enterprises need to measure AI’s economic impact without slowing innovation or exposing sensitive data.
Productivity Economics
See who’s using AI, how often, and for which workflows. Then translate usage into economic value using real operational context, not guesses.
Revenue and Growth Impact
Identify where AI accelerates deal cycles, expands capacity, improves service, or enables teams to pursue opportunities they previously could not.
Risk Prevention Economics
Surface risky or unsanctioned AI behavior early, before it becomes a costly incident. In many enterprises, avoided loss is one of the biggestROI drivers.
Spend Rationalization
Reveal overlapping tools, unused licenses, and fragmented adoption patterns so you can consolidate spend without cutting outcomes. Lanai does not hand you a generic ROI score. Lanai gives you the data that makes ROI defensible.
