Your vendor-agnostic AI ROI dashboard

Your board is going to ask what the AI spend returned.

Most companies cannot answer. UseCaseRoom is one dashboard for every AI initiative, across every vendor, with the result stated on camera by the people who ran it.

The AI value gap

69% have deployed AI. 2% can show what it returned over time.

Across the S&P 500 this earnings season, 69% of companies pointed to a live AI deployment. 29% put a number on a result. 2% reported a metric tracked over time. None broke AI value out as its own KPI or P&L line.

Return unknown on every one

  • Split across vendors. Each tool reports on itself. Nobody adds them up.
  • The ROI field is empty. The registry requires a figure nobody has.
  • The people who know moved on. The result left with the team that ran it.
What UseCaseRoom is

1

Every initiative gets a room

A Copilot rollout, a custom model, a ServiceNow workflow, an in-house agent. The same structure for each, regardless of who built it or which vendor bills for it.

2

The people who ran it state the result on camera

Cost, benefit, timeline, what broke. Every figure is attributed to a named person on a specific date, and marked as self-reported or reconciled with finance.

3

The rooms add up to the dashboard

Total spend, documented return, initiatives running and stopped, with the reasons on record. Figures a CFO can put in a board deck and defend when asked.

Every figure traces to a named person, a date, and a recording. Self-reported figures are never mixed in with reconciled ones. Illustrative; live figures come from your initiatives.
How it gets built

Forty-five minutes per initiative. No forms, no integration.

1

Interview the owner and the team

Forty-five minutes, remote, on camera. A fixed set of questions: the problem, what was built, what it cost, what it returned, what broke.

2

Every answer becomes a clip

One question per clip. Cost, benefit, and timeline are pulled from the transcript and shown beside the video, with who stated them.

3

The room joins the dashboard

Totals, department and vendor views, and search all include the new initiative from that moment.

$4.2Mdocumented annual return
4

Open questions route to the owner

Anything unanswered goes to the owner, who records a short reply. The library grows without another interview.

UseCaseRoom does not connect to any tool. It records what the people who ran each initiative say about it, which is why it covers every vendor equally and takes days rather than quarters to stand up.

We build your first use-case room for free.

Pick one AI initiative. We interview the team, build the room, and you see what your own people say about what it returned. Then put it next to whatever went into last quarter's board deck.
