By 2027, the compound AI systems (multi-agent, self-improving, goal-directed) that most enterprises are still piloting will be running >$1 bn of annual spend completely autonomously.
We are already there with three live clients.
This piece reveals the three irreversible shifts we see in every 2025–2026 roadmap:
- Decision-making moving from human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop (95 % of routine CFO, COO, and CRO decisions executed by agents)
- Enterprise knowledge graphs replacing data lakes as the single source of truth (ending hallucinations forever)
- “Value-chain agents” that negotiate contracts, reroute shipments, and hedge currency without human approval—delivering 8–14 % hard EBITDA lift in procurement and revenue operations
Includes our proprietary 2026 AI Maturity Matrix (used by two Big Four firms internally) and the exact technical architecture that took a $9 bn manufacturer from zero to fully autonomous revenue operations in 11 months.
Forward-looking, zero fluff, immediately actionable.
