Sample AB-100 question

A company runs a portfolio of AI initiatives that sit at various stages of development. You must recommend a structured way to assess the return on AI investment (ROAI) across all of them, balancing near-term results against long-term value and strategic innovation. What should you include in the recommendation?

  • A prioritization grid
  • The internal rate of return (IRR) function
  • A horizon-based framework
  • A simple cost and benefit analysis
Explanation

A horizon-based framework sorts initiatives into Horizon 1 (core operations / immediate ROI), Horizon 2 (adjacent opportunities / mid-term value), and Horizon 3 (transformational innovation / long-term strategy), balancing quick efficiency wins with long-term strategic value across the portfolio. A prioritization grid is tactical ranking, while a plain cost-benefit analysis and IRR are single-point calculations that don't reconcile different timeframes across a portfolio.

Sample AB-100 question

A company will deploy an AI-based customer service app that autonomously handles interactions, escalates hard cases, and learns from historical ticket data. You must run a return on AI investment (ROAI) analysis of the deployment, and the analysis must be accurate. What should you do first?

  • Model the customer experience.
  • Identify and quantify every development, deployment, and operating cost.
  • Conduct an AI market benchmarking study.
  • Establish the AI performance metrics.
Explanation

An accurate ROAI analysis starts by identifying and quantifying all costs across the three phases: development (core AI logic, custom integrations, data prep), deployment (one-time move to production), and operating/maintenance (recurring costs that shape net gain over time). Without that complete cost baseline, performance metrics, benchmarking, or experience modeling can't produce an accurate return figure.
