How to Measure AI ROI — Knowing If Your AI Tools Are Actually Working | Master AI & ML Ep 29

"We're using AI now" is not a business outcome. The tools that survive budget cycles are the ones you can measure. In this Module 5 closer we build a complete AI ROI measurement framework — four metric categories, a one-page scorecard, and the cut decision criteria for tools that aren't earning their place.

In this episode:
→ The baseline problem — why you can't measure ROI without a pre-AI baseline
→ Category 1: Time savings — the time savings formula with a worked example from the Ep 21 automation
→ Category 2: Quality and consistency — error rates, resolution rates, output consistency
→ Category 3: Output volume — what the same team produces more of without more headcount
→ Category 4: Revenue and cost impact — the hardest to attribute, the most convincing to leadership
→ The ROI scorecard — one page per tool, five fields, updated quarterly (downloadable below)
→ Total cost of ownership — what to count beyond the subscription fee
→ The cut decision — when to stop paying for a tool that isn't working

This is Episode 29 of Master AI & Machine Learning — Module 5 closer. Module 6 (Ethics, Strategy & Future) starts next.
