AI commerce ROI calculator

An AI commerce ROI calculator estimates the revenue a store loses when AI shopping agents cannot complete a purchase on it. The loss is the store’s monthly revenue, multiplied by the share of it that is agent-mediated, multiplied by the share of agent attempts that fail. Only the last of those three is something anyone can measure for you.

45% of agent-mediated attempts do not complete on a store like this. Modelled from the profile above.

Each stage on its own. These are not added up: an agent gets no further than your weakest stage, so the estimate uses the worst one.

What this can and cannot tell you

Measured, on a real report

The failure rate. An agent attempts discover → evaluate → compare → buy against your store and each stage is scored on what it actually managed.

Yours, always

Revenue. We do not have it, do not ask for it, and it never leaves your browser on this page.

Assumed, and visibly so

The agent-mediated share of your revenue. There is no trustworthy figure for this yet. When our benchmark dataset is large enough to publish one, it will arrive with a published methodology, not before.

Common questions

Where does the failure rate come from?

On this page you choose a profile, so it is modelled, not measured. The page says so beside every figure. In an Ottom report the same calculation runs on your store’s own stage scores, produced by an agent that actually attempted the purchase.

How much of my revenue is really agent-mediated?

Nobody can answer that reliably today, us included, which is why it is a slider rather than a number we assert. The default band is 1-3% and is deliberately conservative. Set it to what you believe; the estimate moves with it, and the spread you see is entirely that uncertainty.

Why is the result a range and not a number?

Because one of the three inputs is an assumption. A single figure would read as a quote. The range is the honest shape of an estimate with one unknown in it.

How is the loss calculated?

Each stage’s score becomes the share of agent attempts that get past it, and the headline is the worst single stage. An agent gets no further than your weakest one. We deliberately do not multiply the four stages together: a stage score is a quality rubric rather than a measured drop-off rate, and compounding it four times produces a figure far more alarming than we can defend. This understates the loss when several stages leak at once, which is the direction we would rather be wrong in. A stage we did not test is treated as passing, never as a failure.

Do you see my revenue figure?

No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is submitted.
