AI Feature ROI Audit Service

A specialized consulting service that evaluates proposed or existing AI features in software products by running structured cost-benefit analysis, user research, and competitive benchmarking. The service delivers a written audit report with a clear ROI scorecard, implementation risk assessment, and a go/no-go recommendation backed by data—not hype.

SERVICE

29 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Stops wasteful AI implementations before they drain 3–6 months of engineering time. Gives product leaders defensible, data-backed arguments to kill bad AI features or prioritize good ones. Costs $8–15K per audit; prevents $200K–500K in wasted engineering spend. Existing frameworks (Gartner, McKinsey) are generic; this is software-specific and fast.

Target Audience

VP Product, Engineering Leaders, and CTO/CTOs at B2B SaaS and enterprise software companies (Series A–C stage and mid-market) who face internal pressure to add AI but lack frameworks to evaluate it

Key Features

  • Structured intake interview with product, engineering, and customer success teams
  • Competitive feature benchmarking (what AI features do 5–10 direct competitors actually ship, and user sentiment on them)
  • User research sprint: 8–12 customer interviews to validate whether users actually want the feature or if it's solving a non-problem
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Google Sheets/Airtable for audit template and tracking Zoom for interviews and client calls Stripe for retainer billing Notion or Confluence for case study documentation

Original Problem

Developers struggle to evaluate whether AI features actually solve real problems or are just hype-driven implementations

Software developers and technical decision-makers are frustrated by the pressure to integrate AI into products without clear business justification or user demand. They see AI being added everywhere as a checkbox feature rather than a solution to genuine pain points, wasting engineering resources and confusing users. Current solutions fail because there's no framework to distinguish between AI implementations that create real value versus those that are purely trend-following.
