Poor prompting, unmanaged workflows, and hallucinated outputs are quietly draining enterprise budgets.
--40% of workers receive AI-generated "workslop" monthly
--Each incident takes 1 hour 56 minutes to resolve
--Cost: $186 per employee per month
Annual cost for a 10,000-person organization: $9M+4
--47% of enterprise AI users made at least one major decision based on hallucinated content
--Global losses from AI hallucinations reached $67.4 billion in 2024
Each enterprise employee costs ~$14,200/year in hallucination mitigation5,6,7
--Organizations lose 20-40% of IT budgets to technical debt maintenance
--Ignoring tech debt reduces AI ROI by 18-29%
A $20B enterprise could incur $120M+/year in hidden AI costs8,9,10
