EnterpriseVal: Quantifying the Efficacy, Reliability and Value of Generative AI in the Enterprise

来源摘要

arXiv:2609.21841v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier language models now produce professional deliverables that expert graders judge to match human work on a substantial share of economically valuable tasks, yet most enterprise GenAI initiatives fail to show a measurable business effect and a large fraction of agentic projects are expected to be cancelled. We argue that this is substantially a measurement problem: public benchmarks answer "what can the model do?", whereas a deployment decision requires "is this workflow fit, reliable, safe and worth scaling - here, on our data, under our controls?". We present EnterpriseVal, a use-case-level evaluation system that closes this gap. It comprises (i) a formal specification of the use case and of the frozen socio-technical configuration under test, model, prompts, retrieval, tools, guardrails and human oversight, with an autonomy level and consequence tier that jointly set the required evaluation intensity; (ii) a metric catalogue spanning fidelity, utility, efficiency, reliability, assurance and oversight; (iii) a grading protocol that scales blinded expert judgement with calibrated LLM-as-judge scoring through prediction-powered inference; (iv) a two-tier threshold gate, stated as an executable algorithm, that maps metric vectors with confidence bounds to REJECT/CONDITIONAL/SCALE decisions; and (v) a value-and-risk model in which the reviewer catch rate is a measured parameter. We report a pilot across three workflows in a global bank. In credit-memo drafting, human-graded citation precision reached 88% and hallucination rate 1.6% for the best model against gates of 70% and 5%; in procedure transformation, analyst refinement effort fell from an estimated 27.4 to 2.9 hours per document. We separate established results,
