AI Outcome Check

A good answer. A completed job?

Compare two ways of doing the same job. See completion, missing outcomes and the human work behind the AI bill. Leave with a brief and a concrete next check.

Free, without an account. Calculations use this tab; your entries are not sent to NexTool or an AI provider. Reloading clears them. Download your brief or save a comparison file to reopen here later.

Need to collect your figures first?

Use this free plan with your team to define outcomes, record every attempted case and account for human work. Fill it in using your own approved system, then return with aggregate figures.

  1. Define what counts as complete before testing. Use the same criteria for both groups.
  2. Check final outcomes against records or independent human review. An AI saying “done” is not an outcome receipt.
  3. Choose comparable cases and time windows. Record how cases are assigned; use a paired or randomised test where appropriate.
  4. Count every attempted case, including failures and abandoned work. Keep unknown outcomes visible.
  5. Track machine costs and human review/rework across all attempts. Allocate other direct costs within the same boundary.
  6. Review source records, critical errors, case selection and sample size before choosing a workflow. These checks do not approve a deployment.

Internal case reference: [no names or customer content]
Group A or B / workflow version / task category / time window: [fill in]
Outcome: [confirmed complete / known not complete / unknown]
Outcome reference / reviewer / follow-up date: [keep within your organisation]
Machine cost / total human review and rework minutes / other direct cost: [empty means unknown]
Critical error or hard constraint: [record separately]

Aggregate and return
Include failed and abandoned attempts. Count each attempted case once in one outcome category. If completion was not checked, mark the outcome unknown, not failed. Retried work and its costs must not disappear from the accounting.
Sum costs across every attempt in each group. If any cost record is missing, keep that aggregate cost unknown; a partial sum is not a full cost. Use one currency; the calculator does not convert exchange rates.
Enter aggregate figures into AI Outcome Check. Keep raw records in your organisation. The calculator does not import case records or run an evaluation. Review the plan for your workflow before use; it is not a validated study protocol.

All amounts must already be in the selected currency. Changing the currency changes the label; it does not convert your amounts.

Use one currency and the same cost boundary. Include review and rework across successful, failed and unknown cases. A confirmed completion needs an outcome record or human check. Put each case in only one outcome category; remaining cases count as not completed. Leave missing costs empty; enter 0 only when the cost is known to be zero.
