AI Risk & Value Scorecard
For regulated SaaS businesses in fintech, legaltech, insurtech, healthtech and high-trust, compliance-critical sectors.
Where is AI exposing your organisation to risk?
What’s blocking more value from being created?
Which initiatives should you stop, fix, or scale?
Let’s find out.
The gap between AI activity and AI value is widening, and most organisations don't know where they stand.
Why this matters now
10 weeks until the EU AI Act lands — do you have clarity?
2 August 2026 is a very real test of AI clarity.
Regulated SaaS businesses need to tell users when they are interacting with AI, and make that disclosure clear, accessible, and visible from the first interaction.
Shadow AI is already inside most businesses
78% of AI users are bringing their own AI tools to work. Risks are moving faster than governance.
Microsoft and LinkedIn, ‘2024 Work Trend Index’, published May 8, 2024.
Almost half of AI projects are abandoned before they deliver value
Organisations abandon 46% of AI projects between proof of concept and broader adoption.
S&P Global Market Intelligence, ‘Voice of the Enterprise: AI & Machine Learning, Use Cases 2025’.
What does this mean for you?
The AI you approved isn't delivering. The AI you haven't approved is already running. These problems carry consequences that go well beyond operational inconvenience; in a regulated environment, that gap is a liability.
Know where you stand with the AI Risk & Value Scorecard
A personalised assessment of your entire AI position, across governance, strategy, commercial value, technology, culture, delivery, adoption, and measurement.
The result is a clear report telling you exactly where AI is creating risk, where it's failing to deliver, and what to prioritise next for your organisation.
See how we assess your AI position and exactly what you'll receive.
How the Scorecard works
Stop flying blind on risk. Know exactly which AI systems are creating exposure. And what to do about it before it becomes a board-level problem.
End the 'scale, fix, or stop' paralysis. Get a clear, prioritised view of which AI initiatives deserve more investment and which are draining resource.
Go from activity to impact. Turn scattered AI experimentation into a coordinated, commercially measured programme, with clear next steps.

The scorecard will give you clarity on what to do next. relief that your next board conversation is sorted and confidence that you’re not going into that governance review blind.
Finally, stop the guessing and make a real call on that AI pilot you’ve been running for six months…
It is especially relevant for:

What it helps you answer
Where is AI exposing your organisation to risk?
What’s blocking more value from being created?
Why is adoption stalling before we reach ROI?
Which initiatives should you stop, fix, or scale right now?
What practical steps should we take next?
Why it matters now
The EU AI Act becomes fully enforceable on 2 August 2026.
Shadow AI is already inside most organisations. 78% of employees are bringing their own tools to work. And almost half of AI projects are abandoned before they deliver value.
If you don't have a clear, current view of your AI position, you are making governance and investment decisions in the dark. The AI Risk & Value Scorecard puts a spotlight on where you’re standing right now and illuminates the path forward.

How clear is your AI picture?
Every week without clarity is another 7 days of unchecked risk exposure, investments that can't be fully justified, and decision-making based on assumptions, rather than evidence.
The organisations that will navigate this moment well are the ones who know where they stand right now.
The Scorecard gives you the picture. The roadmap gives you the path. The next step is yours.
Most businesses don’t have an AI activity problem – they have a clarity problem. Our scorecard solves that.
