Enterprise AI Spend Benchmark

A possible benchmark for how organizations allocate AI spending across inference, software, implementation, training, and human review.

The more defensible data product is not a synthetic benchmark. It is a benchmark of actual organizational behavior.

Participating companies could contribute anonymized observations about AI spend, workflows, review burden, throughput, error rates, and realized savings.

Possible cuts

The benchmark could eventually compare:

  • industry;
  • company size;
  • function;
  • workflow type;
  • spend per employee;
  • inference versus software versus implementation cost;
  • human review time;
  • measured output gain.

The publication can create the network around the dataset before the dataset is large enough to become a product.
