An independent review that grades every AI initiative's value by what the evidence can carry, with numbers your Finance office signs.
Pilots, licences, agents and training arrive faster than the evidence behind them. Boards no longer ask whether to adopt AI. They ask what it returned, and nobody independent is grading the answer.
Every initiative carries two things, set by a person and never derived by software: a value status, and a grade for the evidence behind it. A SAR 1.8M figure at Attributed, grade 2, and a SAR 0.9M figure at Validated, grade 4, are different things, visibly.
A bounded engagement on the initiatives that matter. Finance is in the room from the first week, not the last.
Register every initiative and the value it claims. Agree the Finance sign-off form before any number is produced.
Baseline, evidence and a calculation whose formula and inputs are written down and reproducible.
Put each formula, baseline and source trail in front of your Finance office. Record what they sign, adjust or decline.
One word per initiative, Scale, Redesign, Hold or Stop, each against a written trigger.
A vendor cannot grade its own system. Every review carries a standing disclosure of the evaluators' other interests, and any initiative one of them helped build is named and capped in the report.
The first meeting agrees three things: which initiatives are in scope, what data exists, and who in Finance will sign.
