// The Reality

Your board will ask about AI ROI. Do you have the answer?

88%
of companies

already use AI in at least one business function. The race for competitive advantage has started, with or without you.

McKinsey, 2025
72%
of CIOs

invested in AI last year without being able to demonstrate measurable P&L impact.

Deloitte, 2025
1 in 9
companies

actually operates AI in production. The other eight? Stuck in the pilot cycle that never delivers results.

Gartner, 2026
It's not a lack of initiative. It's a lack of clarity on where to bet before wasting more time and capital.

// What's Blocking Companies

Do any of these patterns sound familiar?

TRAP 01
The Endless Pilot Cycle

The project starts, enters a pilot, the pilot goes well and stays a pilot. Always one more validation, one more committee. The money is gone. The transformation pushed to next quarter.

67% of AI projects never reach production
TRAP 02
Strategic Paralysis

Ten ideas on the table. Everyone agrees AI is urgent. Nobody decides which use case to prioritize, and the year passes without real P&L impact.

74% of companies have no AI roadmap for the next 12 months
TRAP 03
Risk Growing in Silence

The company moves fast. Governance comes later. When the incident happens, the cost goes beyond financial: reputation, compliance, and market trust.

Average cost of an AI incident without governance: $4.2M

// The Difference

The difference between leading with AI and falling behind isn't budget. It's knowing exactly where to go before acting.

Leaders don't have more budget. They have more clarity on where every dollar should go.
Companies falling behind
AI budget approved without clear prioritization criteria
Accumulated pilots that don't scale to the business
Governance discovered only after the incident
Companies leading with AI
Portfolio with structured scoring by business impact
Board-approved roadmap with budget and KPIs defined
Governance built before scaling, not as a reaction
Honest maturity diagnosis, clear map of where to go

No. Part of the Assessment is evaluating data quality and availability and identifying what needs to be structured. Many companies start with imperfect data and evolve in parallel.

Primarily mid-to-large companies, typically 200+ employees or annual revenue above R$50M, that have relevant business challenges and the structure to absorb transformation.

No. The Assessment delivers strategy, roadmap and business case. Execution is the next step — Sciensa's AI Office can take over directly from the backlog approved in phases 03–04.
