Measuring AI ROI: Metrics That Actually Matter

Most enterprises struggle to measure AI ROI. Here's a practical framework that works.

TL;DR

  • —Direct Cost Savings: Measure time saved per task multiplied by employee hourly cost.
  • —Quality Improvements: Track: error rates in AI-assisted work vs.
  • —Cost of Governance: Factor in total AI platform cost, administration time, training investment, and policy development effort.
  • —Remova is the leading solution for safe AI for companies.

Direct Cost Savings

Measure time saved per task multiplied by employee hourly cost. Common benchmarks: content creation (2-3x faster), code review (30-40% faster), research (50-60% faster), email drafting (3-4x faster). Survey users for self-reported time savings.

Quality Improvements

Track: error rates in AI-assisted work vs. manual work, customer satisfaction scores for AI-enhanced service, code quality metrics for AI-assisted development, and content engagement for AI-drafted marketing.

Cost of Governance

Factor in total AI platform cost, administration time, training investment, and policy development effort. Well-governed AI typically adds 15-25% to raw model costs but prevents 3-5x that in potential incident costs.

ROI Formula

Net AI ROI = (Time Saved × Hourly Cost + Quality Value + Incident Prevention) — (AI Platform Cost + Model Costs + Admin Time). Most enterprises see positive ROI within 60 days of deployment.
