How do we calculate ROI on fraud detection AI?

ROI = (Fraud losses prevented + False positive reduction savings) − (System cost + Ongoing operations). A $500K fraud AI investment preventing $3M in annual fraud losses delivers 500%+ ROI within the first year.

What is the ROI timeline for trading AI?

Trading AI ROI depends heavily on asset class and strategy. Systematic trading strategies typically demonstrate performance improvements within 6–12 months of live deployment. Infrastructure costs are typically recovered within 12–18 months.
