MIT Study: 95% Miss the Mark

The Performance Gap
5% vs 95%
Million-Dollar Returns vs Zero Return
Despite "$30–40 billion in enterprise investment into GenAI," 95% are "getting zero return" while 5% generate millions in value. This binary outcome shows AI success depends on implementation discipline and strategic focus, not just technology adoption.

Budget Currently Goes Elsewhere
While most organizations direct "70% of AI budget allocation on sales and marketing," the data reveals a different path. "The highest-ROI opportunities in back-office functions remain underfunded," creating accessible wins for organizations willing to focus on these overlooked areas.

Deployment Success Rates
Research demonstrates "strategic partnerships achieved a significantly higher share of successful deployments than internal development efforts." External partnerships reached deployment 67% of the time while providing faster time-to-value and lower costs. Companies avoided build overhead while achieving tailored solutions.

CLIENT SUCCESS

Turning Speed Into Competitive Advantage

A mid-sized JIT logistics company faced intense pressure from well-capitalized public competitors aggressively targeting smaller players in this hyper-cyclical market. Through comprehensive value chain analysis, we identified where they could realistically compete: pricing precision, response speed, and service quality. Our strategic assessment revealed these as their pathway to sustainable advantage.

80%
Reduction in manual processes

Manual entry time dropped from 15-30 minutes to 1-5 minutes, enabling faster responses and higher sales conversion while competitors remained stuck at industry-standard response times.

2x
Net profit margin increase

Dynamic pricing model with real-time optimization eliminated quoting errors and maximized markup potential without losing competitive positioning.

The Solution: Enterprise-Grade Automation

We implemented a proprietary Transportation Management System, replacing fragmented legacy software with integrated automation. The platform transformed manual processes, freed customer service teams for high-value interactions, and enabled dynamic pricing optimization. Real-time dashboards provided sub-second visibility into P&L and performance metrics.

The Result

Delivered complete operational transformation that turned speed and service into sustainable competitive advantages. The client now outmaneuvers larger competitors through superior responsiveness while protecting profitability through intelligent automation.

About the Firm 12fold

The name "12fold" is both a target and a tribute. It represents the twelvefold return on investment we aim to deliver for clients, while also honoring the Japanese swordsmiths who folded steel twelve times to eliminate flaws and achieve balance at the atomic level. Centuries before science confirmed their method, these craftsmen relied on discipline and relentless practice to create blades of remarkable strength. Their achievement proves that refinement, not chance, produces lasting results. We bring that same philosophy to business, helping organizations sharpen their capabilities so they can compete with clarity and confidence.
