Establish Your Baseline

Know where you are before you move

Before adopting AI tools for manage the transition to fee-based advisory models, understand your current state.

Define Your Measures

What to track and how to calculate it

Time per cycle

How to calculate

Measure how long manage the transition to fee-based advisory models takes end-to-end today, then after AI adoption.

Why it matters

The most visible improvement is speed. If AI doesn't save time, question whether it's adding value.

Quality of output

How to calculate

Track error rates, rework frequency, or stakeholder satisfaction scores before and after.

Why it matters

Speed without quality is just faster mistakes. Measure both.

When to check: Check after 30 days of consistent use, then quarterly.
The commitment: Give new tools at least 30 days before judging. The first week is always awkward.
What NOT to measure: Don't measure AI adoption rate as a KPI. Adoption follows value — if the tool helps, people use it.
