AI Decision Engine

Not every problem
needs AI.

Describe your workflow. We tell you exactly where AI helps — and where it doesn't.

Built for COOs and operations leaders at mid-market companies.

10–20 minutes. No account required. No vendor bias.

What you walk away with — 15 minutes
Your verdict
Walk Away — low ROI, high exception variability
Confidence: Medium — exception rate and data quality unverified
Economic Potential3.2 / 10
Execution Feasibility4.1 / 10
Risk Level6.8 / 10
Estimated Year 1 impact

–$8,400 net

Costs exceed recoverable savings at current volume. No ROI case at this stage.

Primary constraint

Exception handling complexity makes automation unreliable at current volume.

Not a chat. Not a guess. A scored decision.

The problem

The numbers on AI
are not encouraging.

95%

of enterprise GenAI pilots produced zero measurable P&L impact within six months of deployment.

MIT NANDA “The GenAI Divide,” July 2025

42%

of companies abandoned most of their AI initiatives in 2025 — up from 17% the year before.

S&P Global Market Intelligence, 2025

28%

of AI use cases fully succeed and meet ROI expectations. 20% fail outright.

Gartner, April 2026 (n=782 I&O leaders)

The problem isn’t a lack of AI tools. It’s that most organizations commit before they know if the specific process in front of them is worth automating. Compass is the evaluation that should come first.

How it works

From conversation to
a clear AI decision

A structured process, not a chat. Every number in your report traces back to something you told us.

01

Describe your workflow

Compass asks focused questions about your process. Takes 10–20 minutes. No forms — just a conversation.

02

We capture what's measurable

Volume, hours, error rate, team size, tool stack, compliance needs, budget range. Your numbers, not averages.

03

Three dimensions are scored

Economic Potential, Execution Feasibility, and Risk Level. Each scored 0–10. Risk works in reverse — higher score means more risk.

04

ROI is calculated

Year 1 net savings, 3-year NPV, and payback period — modeled from your inputs and industry benchmarks. Range narrows as inputs get more specific.

05

You get one of four verdicts

Build, Buy, Partial, or Walk Away — with the reasoning behind it and what to validate next. Confidence shows how much of your data was verified.

The scoring model

How your inputs become
a recommendation

Every verdict is the output of a deterministic scoring model. Here's the exact path from your answers to the number on your report.

Your Inputs
Three Scored Dimensions
Your Verdict
Volume & hours per week
Error & exception rate
Team size & readiness
Tool stack & integrations
Budget & timeline
Compliance requirements
Economic Potential
Is the financial case strong enough?
Weight: 45%
Execution Feasibility
Can this actually be automated?
Weight: 30%
Risk Level
What could go wrong — and how badly?
Weight: 25% — higher score = more risk
Combined into a composite score
→ selects the strongest path
Build
Custom AI solution
Buy
Existing tool fits
Partial
Automate part of it
Walk Away
AI isn't right here
Economic Potential

Is there enough labor cost, error cost, or volume to justify the investment? Calculated from your hours, headcount, and error rate. Weighted most heavily at 45% — a weak ROI case is hard to overcome.

Execution Feasibility

Can this process actually be automated given your data quality, tool integrations, exception rate, and team? A high score means the path is clear. A low score means automation is possible in theory but blocked in practice.

Risk Level

A danger score — higher means more risk. Driven by compliance requirements, data sensitivity, exception rate, and adoption history. A high Risk Level reduces the composite score and can flip a verdict toward Walk Away even when economics look strong.

Why Proceva Compass

Not consulting. Not a general AI tool.
A decision — in minutes.

Claude or ChatGPT gives you a plausible answer. Consulting gives you a slide deck in six weeks. Compass gives you a scored decision from your specific inputs — in 15 minutes.

Compass applies a structured scoring model with three scored dimensions — Economic Potential, Execution Feasibility, and Risk Level — each evaluated against your specific workflow inputs: volume, error rate, exception rate, team readiness, tool stack, and compliance requirements. Scores are weighted (45% / 30% / 25%) and combined to select the strongest viable recommendation path.

Who it's for

You already know something
needs to change.

Compass is for the moment after that — when you need to decide whether AI is the answer and what to do about it, before you commit budget or team time.

Vendor bias

A vendor says their tool is perfect for you. They're not paid to tell you to walk away. Compass is — no implementation bias, just the honest answer.

Failed pilots

Your last pilot looked promising — and delivered nothing. Compass flags failure risks early — data gaps, exception rates, team readiness — before you commit.

C-suite skepticism

Your c-suite won't accept a vendor ROI model. Compass builds ROI from your data — hours, errors, volume — benchmarked, not borrowed.

No clear starting point

AI is on the agenda, but no one knows where to start. Pick a process. Compass tells you if it's worth pursuing — clearly and defensibly.

Consulting overkill

A full consulting engagement for one process is overkill. Compass delivers a structured, scored assessment in under 20 minutes — no proposals, no hourly fees.

Compliance uncertainty

You don't know if the tool you're considering is even allowed. Compass maps your compliance exposure — before you sign anything.

What you walk away with

One of four verdicts —
each grounded in your inputs.

Compass returns one of these four answers. Whichever you get, the report follows the same structure.

Build

Custom AI solution makes sense. Compass tells you the scope.

Buy

An existing tool fits. Compass tells you what to look for.

Partial

Some of the process, not all. Compass tells you which parts.

Walk Away

AI isn't the right answer here. Compass tells you why.

Sample report — free tier

Below is a "Partial" verdict from a real assessment. The structure is the same for Build, Buy, and Walk Away — only the conclusion changes.

Your verdict
Leaning Partial — exception handling constraint
Confidence: Medium — exception rate and data consistency unverified; report flags what to validate
Economic Potential7.4 / 10
Execution Feasibility5.8 / 10
Risk Level4.8 / 10
Financial estimates
$41,200
Year 1 net savings
$98,400
3-year NPV
14 mo
Payback period

Based on: 4 FTE × 18 hrs/week × $68/hr loaded rate. ±25% range given medium confidence.

Primary constraint

High variability in exception handling likely prevents full automation.

Why this verdict
  • Strong economic case from volume
  • Feasibility limited by exception rate
  • Moderate compliance exposure
What's uncertain
  • True exception rate across edge cases
  • Data consistency between upstream systems
What your CTO will ask next
  • How are edge cases handled in production?
  • What data cleanup is required first?
  • Where does human review stay in the loop?

Sample output. Your assessment is specific to your industry, team size, and process.

FAQ

Questions we get asked

Any repeatable workflow with measurable volume and a human bottleneck. Common examples: invoice processing, customer onboarding, compliance reporting, support ticket triage, contract review routing, data entry between systems. If someone on your team does the same steps more than 20 times a week, it's worth running through Compass. Smaller processes still work — the assessment adapts to scope.

Both, in sequence. First, Compass evaluates whether AI is the right answer for your specific process — sometimes it isn't, and "Walk Away" is a valid verdict. If AI is appropriate, Compass then tells you whether to build a custom solution, buy an existing tool, or automate only part of the process. You get the full decision, not just one half of it.

The assessment is free — no account required. You'll receive a qualified verdict, confidence level, three readiness scores, your primary constraint, the reasoning behind the verdict, key uncertainties, and the questions your CTO will likely ask next. Compass Plus ($499, one-time) adds full sub-dimension analysis, failure mode breakdown, assumptions and sensitivity, scenario modelling, CFO/CTO talking points, and a branded PDF with email delivery and permanent access. No subscription, no trial expiry.

ChatGPT gives you information. Compass gives you a decision. The difference is the model: Compass scores your workflow across three dimensions — Economic Potential, Execution Feasibility, and Risk Level — using your actual inputs (volume, error rate, team size, tool stack, budget). It calculates ROI from those numbers and returns a structured report with a verdict, financial estimates, and the reasoning behind it. ChatGPT starts fresh every time and has no memory of your workflow. Compass produces a document you can take to a CFO.

No. Proceva Compass is an AI-powered product, not a consulting engagement. No human on the other end, no proposal process, no hourly rate. You have a conversation with Compass and get your report instantly. We have no implementation bias — we don't sell software or services, so our only job is to give you an honest answer.

The assessment still runs, and the recommendation is still valid. Industry affects labor cost benchmarking, not the core scoring logic. If your industry isn't on the list, Compass applies general benchmarks and flags where industry-specific factors may affect the result.

If you complete the assessment without saving your report, your responses are used only in-session — nothing is stored. If you save your report by providing your email, we store your name, email, company, and assessment summary securely. We never sell your data or share it with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

Most people finish in 10–20 minutes. Compass asks only what it needs to make a confident recommendation — no lengthy forms, no multi-step surveys.
