About the AI Investment Analyzer

The PyratechAI Investment Analyzer is a free, deterministic decision-support tool for teams evaluating AI initiatives. It produces one of five explicit recommendations — FUND, PILOT, REMEDIATE, DEFER or STOP — together with the reasoning behind the decision, the smallest set of corrective actions most likely to change it, and a printable Decision Receipt. Every score traces back to your own inputs and evidence codes; no generative AI is involved in the recommendation.

What the Analyzer evaluates

• Investment Attractiveness — six dimensions: Business Value, Financial Viability, Technical Feasibility, Execution Readiness, Risk Manageability and Time-to-Value.
• Evidence Confidence — evidence grade (E0-E5), applicability and freshness for each material assumption, weighted by decision sensitivity.
• Value Realization — whether saved capacity becomes measurable business value (cost removed, capacity redeployed, throughput, revenue, risk avoided).
• Human review economics — for copilots and agents, gross productivity is netted of review, rework and exception cost before entering the ROI.
• Autonomy, consequence, reversibility and exposure — where the initiative's risk profile warrants it.
• Hard blockers — data access, governance ownership, business ownership, baseline measurability. Any hard blocker overrides FUND regardless of attractiveness.

What you'll answer

The conversation adapts to your context — early idea, business case, preparing for pilot, pilot underway, pilot completed, funding decision, or a scale decision. It asks only the minimum required questions given your answers so far, typically completing in 8-15 minutes. Every answer is captured deterministically and can be revisited via the Back button. You can save your assessment to a free account and reassess later with only the questions that may have moved — evidence gaps, blockers and the economic drivers most likely to have changed.

What you'll receive

A one-page decision with Attractiveness and Evidence Confidence scores plotted on a 2×2 matrix, the reasoning behind the decision, a ranked list of corrective actions (What Would Change the Decision), a full Assumption Ledger showing every material assumption with its evidence code, freshness where relevant, decision sensitivity and validation status, a Decision Path showing the current gate and the next gate, and a printable Decision Receipt suitable for sharing with a stakeholder or investment committee.

The Analyzer is free, requires no signup for anonymous use, and never sends your inputs to a third-party AI. Every methodology decision is published and versioned; historical assessments render under the methodology version that produced them. If you only need the economics, use the free AI ROI Calculator. To present a complete business case to a stakeholder, the $149 AI Investment Toolkit bundles editable Excel, Word and PowerPoint templates that mirror this methodology. If you'd rather work with the classic form-based flow, use the classic Analyzer.
