AI Dividend · Operating layer

Every AI use-case in your organisation, priced and ready for your CFO to fund, before anyone builds it.

AI Dividend interviews your organisation, thirty minutes, no prep, scores what comes back, and turns the strongest ideas into costed business cases in real approval. Board-ready roadmap in about six weeks. One enterprise engagement turned 200 ideas from 150 employees into six funded pilots, $6.2 million in projected first-year value.

One of three Otinga programmes, with AI Strategy and AI Hackathons, across twelve enterprise clients.

Teams working through AI opportunities
Why this exists

Your organisation is not short of AI use cases.

The use cases are already in the building.

Your engineers know where the client journey breaks. That knowledge lives in a teams thread, not a system. 88% of organisations use AI somewhere, yet only 39% see EBIT impact, mostly under 5% (McKinsey, State of AI 2025). The gap: no route from knowledge to a funded number.

Enthusiasm is not a business case.

An idea reaches your CFO’s desk as bullet points and a hopeful adjective. No sizing, no payback period, so finance says no, rightly. Companies scrapping most AI initiatives pre-production rose 17% to 42% in a year (S&P Global, 2024).

Nobody holds the whole picture.

Ask three executives who owns AI here, you get three answers, plus a pilot nobody mentioned. Only a third of organisations have begun scaling AI enterprise-wide; roughly 6% qualify as high performers (McKinsey, State of AI 2025). That visibility gap is what AI Dividend closes.

The ideas were never the constraint. The route from idea to funded work was.

The mechanism

From scattered ideas to a funded roadmap in five steps.

01

Capture

AI-led interviews, one question: what slows you down on a Tuesday?

02

Qualify

Scored on feasibility, value, strategic fit, complexity. Weak ideas fall away early.

03

Cost it

Qualified ideas become business cases: sized, costed, return and risk, moving through real approval.

04

One roadmap

Coming, live, and parked work, one roadmap. Duplicate builds surface before double funding.

05

Track the return

Promised value set against actual return, alongside governance on every AI system.

Not hypothetical

One Fortune 100 engagement: 150-plus employees, 200 ideas, 87 surfaced across 12 units, six funded pilots worth $6.2 million projected first-year value. A healthcare group built a $12 million projected pipeline in one quarter. Neither client can be named; both figures stand as given.

How it runs

Weeks, not quarters.

1

Scope

about one week

Agree units in scope, what we ask, who gets interviewed.

2

Capture

two to three weeks

Interviews run in parallel across scoped units. No login or AI knowledge needed.

3

Qualify

about one week

Everything captured is scored and ranked.

4

Business cases

about two weeks

Fundable opportunities, written up, moved through approval.

5

Track

ongoing

Funded, shipped, and returned, against what was promised. Most programmes skip this.

AI Dividend platform, value measurement view
What we can show you today

What’s built, what isn’t, told straight.

Plenty of AI platforms are a slide deck and a promise. Here is where AI Dividend stands.

Live and running on your data

The AI-led discovery interview, the business case workflow with its full approval states, and your organisational maturity score.

On the roadmap

Automated scoring at scale, executive dashboards, PII redaction in transcripts, and connectors for Slack, Teams, Jira and ServiceNow. Today, data comes out through a GraphQL export that your team can point at whatever they already use.

Where a number came from

If a number or a screen matters to your decision, ask us where it came from. We’ll tell you plainly, including when the honest answer is that we can’t substantiate it yet. We’ll walk your architects through the built-versus-roadmap detail and a data-flow diagram before you commit to anything.

Who it is for

Chief Digital, Data, Information and AI Officers who carry the AI mandate.

CFOs who need a basis for comparing one AI ask against another.

Heads of AI, Data and Innovation holding a pipeline they can’t yet show anyone.

Risk and compliance leaders who’d rather set the standard than police exceptions.

Executives already measured on AI results, who need something concrete to take to a board.

FAQs

Common questions

Are we buying software, or a consulting engagement?

Both, delivered as one. Route through procurement as professional services.

How is this different from a strategy firm’s discovery work?

Speed: a large firm interviews a sample over months for a deck; we interview everyone in weeks for costed cases in approval.

What does the engagement process actually look like?

A thirty minute, no pitch conversation. If a fit, the next scopes units, interviewees, and board needs.

Does it work with the tools we already run?

Today, via GraphQL export. Connectors (Slack, Teams, Jira, ServiceNow) are roadmap, not live.

What happens to our data, and who can see it?

We walk your architects through the data flow and access, security people in the room.

Can we start with one business unit, or does it have to be the whole organisation?

One unit is fine. Pick one visible enough that a result changes minds elsewhere.
