AI Adoption & ROIFrom Pilot to Proof

Health plans are deploying AI across prior auth, claims, care management, and coding. Almost nobody can prove the actual impact. We measure whether AI changed the operational outcome - at the case level, in the actual workflow, in real time. Did the AI agent make this PA case faster? Did it cost less? Did the human still have to intervene? That’s not model governance. That’s operational impact measurement.

Built for health plans and the clinical operations teams running them.

The Cycle

The Pilot Trap

88% of health plans use AI in at least one workflow. ~5% can prove it's delivering value.

01

The Shiny Pilot

AI deployed, everyone optimistic. Leadership greenlit the budget, the vendor is on-site, and the demo looked incredible.

02

The Black Box

AI runs, but nobody can see what it does. It's in production, somewhere, doing something. Probably helping. Maybe.

03

The Budget Conversation

Leadership asks for ROI. The team scrambles. Spreadsheets are built. Numbers are "estimated." Nobody is confident.

04

Permanent Pilot

No proof, no scale. The project stays small, the budget stays flat, and the cycle repeats next quarter.

The missing piece isn't better AI. It's a measurement layer that both sides trust.

The Challenge

AI is Everywhere. Proven Value is Rare.

Everyone's buying AI. Almost nobody can prove it's working.

88%

of orgs use AI in at least one business function

~5%

can actually prove AI value at scale

71%

of AI teams spend most time "doing data plumbing" instead of generating value

Clinical & Operations Leaders

AI in the dark

  • AI is running in key processes, but nobody has a clear picture of where or how
  • Leaders can't answer: "Which cases involved AI? What changed vs human-only?"
  • Can't tie AI actions to actual time saved or costs reduced
  • So AI projects sit in pilot mode forever

AI Solution Builders

Can't prove value

  • Your solution runs inside customer systems, but the impact gets buried in logs and anecdotes
  • There's no neutral measurement layer that both you and the customer trust
  • You can't walk in and show: "Here's the hours and dollars we saved you this month"
  • So you're stuck selling licenses instead of capturing the upside you create

Without proof, AI stays in permanent pilot mode. Budget conversations end with "we think it's working."

Real-Time ROI

See Your AI Adoption and ROI In One View

Our ROI Impact Explorer shows, in real time, how AI is used across your workflows, how much time and money it's saving, and which interactions are driving the most value.

AI Adoption Mix

See how many cases are AI-only, human-only, or hybrid, and how adoption is shifting over time by workflow.

Time & Cost Savings

Compare baseline time and cost to actuals, with dollars saved and hours saved per case and in total.

Cost Efficiency Leaders

Identify which AI-powered interactions deliver the biggest dollar savings and their contribution to overall ROI.

Time Efficiency Leaders

Rank interactions and bots by hours saved so you know exactly where AI is creating the most time efficiency.

Not AI Governance. Operational Impact Measurement.

AI governance platforms (Credo AI, Fiddler, WhyLabs) monitor model performance - bias, drift, accuracy, explainability. They answer: "is the model working correctly?"

Operon answers a different question: "is the operation performing better because of AI?"

That requires operational data they don't have - cost per case before AI, cycle time before AI, touch count before AI. You can't measure AI ROI without an operational baseline. That's why AI impact measurement isn't a separate product - it's the natural payoff of the operational data Operon already collects.

Most organizations need both AI governance and operational impact measurement. They're bought by different people, for different reasons. We focus on the operational side.

Results

Scaled AI Adoption Results

Real improvements in efficiency, visibility, and confidence, powered by verified operations and measurable AI performance.

AI doesn't scale on hope, it scales on proof.

Enterprises that can measure, verify, and trust their outcomes lead with confidence.

75%

Faster rollout from pilot to production. AI adoption accelerates when verification and proof are automated.

40%

Lower cost per AI tool deployment. Engineering, BA, and validation cycles are significantly reduced.

3-5X

Higher AI pilot acceptance rates. Business stakeholders gain confidence when results are verifiable.

$1.2M

Estimated annual savings across the first 2–3 workflows. Real-time ROI measurement is tied directly to operational outcomes.

The Path

From Pilot to Proof in 3 Steps

A clear path from AI deployment to verified ROI.

01

Instrument

Connect AI workflows to Operon's telemetry. No code changes to your AI. Drop in the SDK, tag your workflow steps, and start capturing structured activity data in minutes.

02

Measure

Real-time dashboards light up: adoption mix, time saved, cost saved, rework eliminated. Every metric tied to actual workflow cases, not estimates.

03

Prove & Scale

Walk into budget meetings with verified ROI data. Show exactly what AI saved, where it accelerated, and why it's worth scaling. Confidence replaces guesswork.

Shared Value

Value for Buyers and Builders

One platform. Two perspectives. Aligned outcomes.

For Enterprise Buyers

Visibility & Confidence

  • See exactly where AI runs across your workflows, with case-level detail
  • Quantify time and cost savings with verified data, not vendor estimates
  • Make data-backed budget and scaling decisions with confidence
  • Compare AI vs. human-only performance across the same workflow
AI projects graduate from pilot.

For AI Solution Builders

Proof & Upside

  • Show customer impact with a neutral, trusted measurement layer
  • Prove ROI through verified data that both you and the customer trust
  • Move from flat licenses to value-based pricing tied to outcomes
  • Walk into renewals with "here's the $X we saved you this quarter"
Earn the upside you deserve.

One platform. Shared truth. Aligned incentives.

Next Step

Let's See If We Can Help

No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a conversation about what you're trying to solve and whether we're a fit.

Good fit if you're:

  • Running clinical workflows and can't see where cases stall or why
  • Managing multiple vendors and teams with no unified performance view
  • Trying to answer 'what does a case cost?' without a 3-week spreadsheet
  • Running AI in production but can't prove the ROI
