Why 56% Get Zero Value from AI While Others Realize Millions
Share your thoughts with us
- The headlines say AI is failing. The ground truth tells a different story.
In this episode, we open the books on the "ROI Paradox." A January 2026 PwC report shows that 56% of companies report zero financial return from AI. Yet nimble operators are unlocking millions in value with lean teams and swarms of small, focused agents.
Why the gap? It’s not the model you use. It’s the roadmap you follow.
In this 15-minute briefing, Luis and Elizabeth cover:
- The 93/7 Problem: Why spending the budget on tech instead of people guarantees failure.
- The "Bella" Blueprint: How a simple daily briefing automation evolved into a full Chief-of-Staff agent managing 70,000 tasks/month.
- Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up: Why IT-led projects fail 80% of the time, while frontline experiments succeed.
- Adult Math: Forget vendor spreadsheets. We explain how to calculate real ROI based on capacity, not just "saved minutes."
If you are feeling pressure to prove value, stop guessing. We built a free calculator based on data from 4,000 agents and 180,000 practitioners to give you the real numbers.
