AI Investment and Portfolio Review
An honest read on what the AI spend so far has actually returned.
What it is
A structured audit of AI investment already committed: what is running, what it cost, what it was supposed to deliver, what it delivered, and where value is leaking. Covers active pilots that have not scaled, vendor and platform commitments, licence and infrastructure spend, and initiatives with no named owner. Where the original business case no longer holds, we say so and quantify the gap rather than restating the case.
Who it is for
CFOs, CIOs and investment committees who are being asked what the last two years of AI budget returned, and who need an answer that is defensible to a board rather than assembled from vendor reporting.
What the engagement includes
Discovery across finance, IT and the sponsoring business units, a portfolio-level review with per-initiative findings, and a written report separating what should continue, what should stop, and what should be re-scoped before more is spent. Distinct from the AI Investment Thesis and Roadmap, which looks forward at what to commit next — this one looks backward at what already was.
