How we calculate this
- Shadow AI risk — Based on IBM's $4.45M average data breach cost, probability-weighted at 0.5% per 100 unapproved AI users, adjusted by industry risk factor.
- Productivity loss — Shadow AI users waste ~1 hr/month on ungoverned tools (workarounds, duplicated effort, lack of best practices).
- Compliance penalties — Estimated regulatory exposure based on industry risk factor × number of AI tools × $2,000 per tool.
- ROI = (total risk avoided − platform cost) ÷ platform cost × 100
Estimates are illustrative. Actual costs vary based on your organisation's specific risk profile, regulatory environment, and existing controls.
