Only about a third of CFOs are confident they can measure AI's impact

A Gartner figure cited in this 2026 cost roundup puts a hard number on the confidence gap: only around 36% of CFOs say they are confident they can measure AI’s impact. Nearly two-thirds are not.

That single statistic is the whole thesis. AI spending is near-universal; the ability to prove it works is the exception. The gap between those two facts is where budgets get frozen and pilots quietly die.

Uprovd exists to move CFOs from the 64% to the 36% - and beyond - by making AI impact measurable, auditable, and confidence-scored by default.
