Measured effect, as reported

No measured effect published

Evidence strength. Consultant case study of its own client. Says the pilot improved first-time resolution, but publishes no figure for it. The $5,000–$12,000 is the cost of an hour of downtime, not a measured saving.

This use case is not part of the AI Dividend Index and does not change it.
