A sensible way to estimate the return on an AI investment for a Hong Kong business.

Estimating the return on an AI investment keeps a project honest. Here is a sensible way for a Hong Kong business to do it.
What to measure
Time saved on the target workflow, error reduction, and any revenue or service improvement — against the build cost, model-usage cost and operation cost.
A simple method
Baseline the workflow before AI (time, error rate, volume), measure after the pilot, and annualise the difference net of cost. Be conservative and exclude speculative gains.
Watch the cost side
Usage-based pricing keeps the cost side predictable as volume grows. osFoundry is a model-agnostic, bring-your-own-key (BYOK) AI orchestration platform — usage-based pricing with no per-seat fees, local-first and self-hostable, with per-region data pinning or deployment into your own cloud.
Where dgm fits
dgm is an independent integration partner that helps Hong Kong businesses adopt osFoundry — scoping a first use case, handling the build, and connecting AI to the systems you already run. dgm is independent of osFoundry’s maker (OS LLC) and has no completed client integrations yet, so everything described here is a service offered, not a past result. If you want to scope a practical first project, dgm can help you map it out.
