The evidence
Stanford AI Index 2025 reports global private generative-AI investment of USD33.9 billion in 2024. Investment is not customer revenue.
The business implication
A 2023 retrospective should identify where experimentation became repeatable service delivery. Model accepted outputs, exception rates and integration expenditure. Keep human approval for material decisions and assess customer willingness to pay before scaling capacity.
What could change the result?
Data permissions, hallucinations, model changes and expensive support can undermine unit economics.
