Data Sources & Methodology

McKinsey Global Institute (2024): AI could add $4.4T annually in value globally; operational functions see 15-40% productivity gains

Accenture Technology Vision 2024: Organizations with mature AI programs report 30-50% efficiency improvements in targeted processes

Salesforce State of AI Report: Sales teams with AI tools see 30% higher quota attainment on average

Methodology: Estimates use productivity-adjusted hourly rates, industry adoption multipliers, and time-savings benchmarks per function. Conservative scenario assumes 15% time savings on AI-assisted tasks.

These are conservative benchmarks. An AI Readiness Diagnostic identifies your specific highest-ROI use cases, surfaces the data and governance gaps blocking deployment, and gives you a sequenced roadmap for maximum return.

Data Sources

MIT Sloan / TDWI Research: Knowledge workers spend 30–50% of their time on data-related work; poor data quality costs U.S. businesses $3.1T annually

Harvard Business Review: Only 3% of companies' data quality scores are rated "acceptable" by their own standards

Gartner: Poor data quality costs organizations an average of $12.9M per year; each maturity level improvement reduces rework costs by 25–40%

Methodology: Waste cost = rework rate × (producers + scaled consumers) × hourly cost × annual hours. Report overhead uses industry-average time-per-report benchmarks.

These are benchmark estimates. A Working Excellence Data Strategy engagement identifies your specific data quality gaps, assigns ownership, and builds the governance roadmap your organization can actually execute.

Your Top 3 Priority Gaps

01Establish formal incident response playbooks and conduct tabletop exercises for ransomware and BEC scenarios.

02Implement consistent MFA enforcement and initiate a privileged access management program with regular access reviews.

03Define data ownership, quality standards, and lineage documentation before launching AI or analytics initiatives.

FAQs

Calculators

Answered directly. No hedging.

How accurate are the calculator estimates?

The calculators use industry benchmarking data and typical ranges from our client engagements. They are designed to give you a directionally accurate sense of opportunity or cost — not a precise quote. Use them to validate whether a more detailed assessment is worth pursuing, then book a session with our team to get numbers specific to your environment and situation.

Why is there a range instead of a single number in the results?

Actual outcomes depend heavily on factors that vary by organization — current infrastructure state, team maturity, regulatory requirements, and implementation approach. We use ranges that reflect the realistic distribution of outcomes we have seen across similar engagements. The low end assumes more complexity and slower adoption; the high end reflects well-executed programs in favorable conditions.

What happens after I use a calculator?

The next step is a 30-minute strategy session with our team. We use the calculator output as a starting point to understand your specific situation, validate the assumptions, and determine whether a formal assessment makes sense. There is no obligation — the session is designed to give you actionable information regardless of whether you engage us further.
