AI Pilot Audit

Escape the Attribution Abyss and get clarity on your AI investments

Marketers are trapped in the Attribution Abyss—where AI projects die at the POC stage because they cannot objectively demonstrate their contribution to revenue. This usually isn't a tooling issue. It's a decision and measurement gap created by speed, hype, and fragmented ownership. We help you cut through the chaos.

AI Pilot Stall & ROI Uncertainty

Every marketer is afraid to talk about the AI projects that never made it past pilot stage. The symptoms are everywhere:

  • Multiple AI tools, pilots, or automations running in parallel
  • No shared definition of 'success' or ROI
  • Pilots living in scattered systems with unclear ownership & strategy
  • Growing internal skepticism, but no clear decision path

How Darwin Solves It

We conduct a short, structured audit of your existing AI pilots and automations. We focus on what exists, why it exists, and what value it actually produces.

01

What to Keep

Identify pilots that are delivering real value and deserve continued investment

02

What to Fix

Pinpoint pilots with potential that need refinement or better integration

03

What to Pause

Flag initiatives that should be put on hold while strategy is clarified

04

What to Shut Down

Recommend sunsetting pilots that are draining resources without returns

The Outcome

A clear decision map. Knowing what not to scale is often more valuable than building some hyped-up AI solution.

Marketing leaders, CMOs, and digital transformation executives who have multiple AI pilots running but struggle to demonstrate ROI or make informed decisions about which initiatives to scale, fix, or retire.
