You’ll leave with:

  •  A CFO-grade ROI framework: Throughput (T), Investment (I), Operating Expense (OE)
  • How to identify your true constraint (bottleneck)—the only place AI ROI reliably shows up
  • A 5-question AI ROI scorecard you can use to evaluate any tool in 10 minutes
  •  A 30-day pilot plan to get real numbers (not guesses)

Why this matters

Most AI ROI calculators are built on the wrong math. They assume “time saved” automatically turns into profit. In reality, AI often shifts work into validation, exceptions, rework, customer escalations, and compliance—and if it doesn’t reduce the system constraint, throughput doesn’t move.

This session shows you how CFOs evaluate AI like an investment: measurable throughput gains, priced-in risk, and a plan to convert capacity into revenue.

This is for you if you are:

  •  A business owner or operator evaluating AI tools and automation
  • A leadership team trying to increase capacity without breaking service or trust

Not ideal if: you’re looking for tool demos or “prompt hacks.” This is about decision-making and ROI math.
