Machine Leadership
helps optimize AI adoption

The AFI Engine: The industry's first patented financial quantification of AI adoption costs that empowers CIOs and CHROs to proactively manage barriers limiting the full realization of Artificial Intelligence.

SaaS for AI Adoption: AFI eliminates guesswork by fusing unique enterprise data from CMDB, HRIS and a Proprietary LLM assessment to understand how an organization is adopting AI. The result is a customized scaling constant that maps machine autonomy, trust, and AI competencies in a way that identifies where AI projects are misaligned with the organization's culture, skills, and trust indicators.
