Overview

The AI is impressive. The ROI is often fiction.
Every enterprise AI pilot produces a number that goes up and to the right. Almost none survive a CFO who knows where to look. The AI ROI Playbook delivers a concrete 90-day plan to instrument, defend, or shut down your AI investments-separating the tools that earn their place from the ones quietly draining the budget behind a flattering dashboard.
Written for the leader who signs - and defends - the check, this book trades vanity metrics for fully loaded cost, priced risk, and the governance that decides what lives and what gets killed. It is a practical framework for proving what AI actually returns, in the language a finance committee will accept.
Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Execute the 90-day framework to evaluate, justify, or kill active AI pilots
  • See through vanity metrics like deflection rates, output volume, and seat counts to measure what actually creates value
  • Build the fully loaded denominator a CFO will sign off on, including the hidden costs most teams quietly ignore
  • Put a hard price on the risk of a confident, wrong answer
  • Install strict kill criteria and governance gates that end pilot purgatory

This is the second pillar of a two-book method. Its companion, The Grounded Enterprise by Duane Cash, shows you how to build enterprise AI that deserves to be trusted; The AI ROI Playbook shows you how to prove the spend was worth it.
Who it's for: CTOs, CIOs, CFOs, and the executives and boards accountable for AI budgets - anyone who has to turn "AI is working" into a number that holds up under scrutiny.
Alan Hancock is a technology leader who has delivered more than $180M in solutions to Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.
Stop funding AI on faith. Start measuring it like money.
