Get clarity and results from AI

88% of enterprises use AI. Only 39% have real results to show for it. Otinga closes that gap — we settle the AI portfolio, prove teams can move, and cost what it returns, safe and compliant.

The Problem

Your Enterprise Has AI Initiatives. You Need AI Results.

The board asked for an AI answer. Discovery takes a quarter.

Three executives, three answers about who owns AI. Spend duplicates, funded work never ships. Abandoned AI projects rose 17% to 42% in a year (S&P Global, 2024).

Applause, then nothing shipped.

Your people have ideas. Almost none survive the pilot. Pilots prove value once, with no route elsewhere. Only a third of firms scale AI enterprise-wide.

There is no complete picture.

Everyone uses AI. Almost nobody can show what it returned. 88% use AI, only 39% report EBIT impact — arithmetic, not technology.

The Solution

Three layers: who decides, whether it moves, what it returns.

AI Leadership

Ask three executives who owns AI: three answers, no decision.

Strategy
Where AI gives you an edge
Ownership
Who's accountable, long-term
Investment
What's worth funding
Governance
What you may do
What changes

leadership funds, not relitigates.

AI Fluency

Ideas exist, no route to shipped work. One hackathon drew 2,300+ engineers; 130+ produced results.

Scale the ambition
Take AI to the people who know the work
Accelerate what's running
Stuck initiatives, unblocked in days
Innovate fast
Sprints ending in a funding decision
What changes

ideas get tested before the board.

AI Dividend

Ask where AI spend sits: usually nowhere visible. One engagement surfaced 87 opportunities, 6 funded, $6.2M projected.

Costed business cases
Every opportunity sized, costed, comparable
One roadmap
Coming, live, and parked
Return on investment
Promised versus delivered
Compliance
Every system's position, live
What changes

your CFO sees spend against return.

The same pattern holds wherever AI depends on people finishing what they start.

Founder insight
Francois van der Merwe
“Most AI programmes fail on arithmetic, not ambition. We put a number on the work before anyone builds it.”

An idea nobody can cost is an idea nobody can defend.
