SMB AI Savings 2026.
Dollar outcomes from real engagements, normalized by vertical and crew size. The honest version of every agency case study, including the ones that did not work.
Most agency case studies report only the wins, which is how the market ends up with a 95 percent failure rate it cannot explain. This report logs dollar outcomes across the full portfolio, including engagements that returned below the projected savings band and the 1-in-5 we walked away from before quoting. Numbers are normalized by vertical, crew size, and primary use case so an operator can read their own size and stack against the median. Early access goes to operators on the field-notes list.
