Blog Summary:
- Despite $30–40B invested in GenAI, 95% of enterprises see no measurable ROI (State of AI in Business 2025 Report).
- The GenAI Divide separates adoption from transformation: tools are piloted, but few deliver impact.
- Only 5% of custom enterprise AI pilots reach production, largely due to poor integration and lack of learning capabilities (State of AI in Business 2025 Report).
- Winning organizations focus on:
– Workflow integration – AI that adapts to how work actually gets done.
– Learning systems – tools that evolve, remember, and adapt over time.
– Strategic partnerships – external collaborations succeed 2x more often than internal builds. - Back-office automation – where ROI can reach $2–10M annually.
- Digital Scientists offers a Free AI Readiness Score and AI Readiness Assessment to help enterprises cross the divide with measurable ROI. a structured Assessment to build a roadmap that connects AI efforts directly to measurable business value.
The Reality of the GenAI Divide
The State of AI in Business 2025 Report reveals a sobering reality: while over 80% of organizations have piloted AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot, most haven’t moved beyond experimentation.
Only 5% of enterprise AI pilots make it into production, with the rest collapsing under brittle workflows, lack of contextual learning, and poor alignment with day-to-day operations.
The gap is not about technology availability — it’s about execution and strategy. This is the GenAI Divide: the difference between hype and business impact.
Where ROI Becomes Real
The report highlights organizations already achieving measurable returns:
- Customer Support Transformation: Enterprises replacing outsourced call centers with AI-enabled support saved $2–10M annually.
- Revenue & Retention Gains: AI-powered follow-ups drove 10% improvement in customer retention and 40% faster lead qualification.
- Financial Services Efficiency: Automating risk checks with AI reduced external spend by $1M annually.
These outcomes prove that AI value emerges when systems are embedded in workflows, not left as standalone pilots.
💡 Digital Scientists Case Study: RAF Score (Coding AI)
We partnered with a healthcare organization to build a custom AI model for risk adjustment factor (RAF) scoring. By automating what was once manual and error-prone, this solution increased accuracy, reduced administrative burden, and improved financial performance. It’s a clear demonstration of how workflow-integrated AI delivers tangible ROI.
How Organizations Cross the Divide
The State of AI in Business 2025 Report found that enterprises that succeed make three critical shifts:
- From tools to outcomes – Success is measured by ROI, not flashy demos or benchmarks.
- From central labs to frontline managers – Adoption thrives when line managers and “prosumers” drive integration.
- From building to partnering – External partnerships have double the success rate of internal builds.
From Readiness to ROI
To cross the GenAI Divide, organizations must begin with an honest assessment of where they stand today. That’s why we created two solutions:
- Free AI Readiness Score – a quick, no-cost benchmark that reveals your organization’s readiness for AI adoption and where the biggest opportunities lie.
- AI Readiness Assessment – a structured engagement that evaluates your data, workflows, and infrastructure to:
-Identify high-value AI use cases.
-Prioritize investments with measurable ROI.
-Build a roadmap that accelerates adoption and scales value.
