The production gap.

Almost every large organisation now uses AI somewhere. Far fewer can show what it earns, and the gap between the two did not close this year. This briefing pulls the most credible 2025 and 2026 research into one place and says what it means for the decision in front of you.

What's inside

• The gap in numbers: the strongest 2025 and 2026 data from McKinsey, Gartner, KPMG, S&P Global, the ONS and others, with every figure traced to its primary source.
• The number to retire: why "95% of AI pilots fail" doesn't say what most people think, and what to put in your board pack instead.
• Five habits of the organisations that ship, illustrated with two anonymised Kiseki Labs engagements.
• Mid-market and enterprise: where the gap differs by size, and the mistake we see most at each.
• Ten questions for your next AI steering committee. Every claim in the report is labelled as survey data, analyst forecast or our view.

For CEOs, CTOs, COOs and the people who brief them, at mid-market and enterprise organisations in the UK and US.
