# AI Capital Recovery > AI Capital Recovery is the workout and resolution firm for failed, distressed, or economically unsupported enterprise AI investments. ## Project Details - Website: [AI Capital Recovery](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/) - Focus: AI Investment Forensic Analytics - Method: AI Asset and Expenditure Reconstruction - Investigative discipline: AI Evidence Archaeology - Primary deliverable: Recovery File - Outcome: AI Capital Recovery ## The Situation The AI spending boom has ended. Companies committed capital to licenses, models, cloud infrastructure, consultants, integrations, pilots, and workforce transformation. In many cases, the investment did not scale, the value cannot be reconciled, the records are fragmented, and no single owner can explain what the company bought or what remains recoverable. AI Capital Recovery enters when the forecast has failed and hard questions begin. ## Main Pages - [Home](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/) - [The Problem](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/the-problem) - [What We Examine](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/what-we-examine) - [How Recovery Works](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/how-recovery-works) - [Recovery Outcomes](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/recovery-outcomes) - [Careers](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/careers) ## What We Do We take control of the evidence. We identify the AI systems, contracts, vendors, costs, workflows, data dependencies, approvals, and operating claims connected to the investment. We reconstruct the portfolio into a defensible recovery record. We determine what should be retained, remediated, replaced, restructured, impaired, terminated, sold, or repurposed. ## Core Practice - AI Investment Forensic Analytics - AI Asset and Expenditure Reconstruction - AI Evidence Archaeology - AI Capital Recovery ## Recovery Method - [The Problem](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/the-problem) - [What We Examine](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/what-we-examine) - [How Recovery Works](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/how-recovery-works) - [Recovery Outcomes](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/recovery-outcomes) ### Find Establish the evidence perimeter. Locate the contracts, invoices, cloud charges, model records, implementation costs, workflow dependencies, business owners, approvals, and surviving system logs. Identify what is missing, contradictory, expired, or unrecoverable. ### Stabilize Prevent further uncontrolled loss. Define the AI Capital Under Review, preserve available records, identify active commitments, expose hidden dependencies, and stop unsupported spending from continuing without review. ### Reconstruct Build the authoritative Recovery File. Normalize fragmented records across finance, procurement, information technology, cloud platforms, business units, legal teams, vendors, and employees. Reconstruct what the organization acquired, what it spent, what value was claimed, what value was realized, and who authorized continued investment. ### Triage Classify every material AI investment: - Retain - Remediate - Replace - Restructure - Impair - Terminate - Sell or repurpose ### Recover Return value to the organization. Recovery may include contract reductions, license consolidation, cloud-cost reduction, vendor renegotiation, refunds, insurance proceeds, litigation recovery, asset sale, repurposing, termination of future obligations, or preservation of residual value. ## What We Examine - [What We Examine](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/what-we-examine) - AI systems, copilots, agents, models, applications, and vendors - contracts, licenses, implementation costs, consulting fees, cloud charges, and compute costs - business units, workflows, data sources, permissions, and system dependencies - expected returns, approved business cases, and actual operating outcomes - employee review, correction, verification, and rework - model changes, configuration changes, retrieval changes, and evidence drift - data rights, ownership, approvals, decision history, and continuation authority - duplicated tools, abandoned pilots, hidden liabilities, shutdown constraints, and residual asset value ## The Recovery File The Recovery File is the standardized, reconciled, decision-ready record of the organization’s AI assets, expenditures, outcomes, dependencies, evidence quality, and decision ownership. It is the file required to support workout, impairment analysis, restructuring, wind-down, sale, repurposing, dispute, or defensible disposition. Without the Recovery File, the company does not have a recoverable AI portfolio. It has scattered claims, invoices, systems, and assumptions. ## Recovery Outcomes - [Recovery Outcomes](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/recovery-outcomes) - Retain investments producing substantiated value - Remediate investments with correctable deficiencies - Replace uneconomic models, vendors, or implementations - Restructure contracts, workflows, infrastructure, or operating assumptions - Identify investments requiring impairment analysis - Terminate unsupported initiatives and future obligations - Sell or repurpose assets with residual value ## Careers - [Careers](https://www.aicapitalrecovery.com/careers) AI Capital Recovery is developing a new professional discipline for reconstructing the technical, financial, operational, and decision history of enterprise AI systems. Relevant backgrounds include data reconstruction, forensic analytics, enterprise systems, digital forensics, cloud cost analysis, records normalization, regulatory remediation, banking resolution, restructuring, and investigative data analysis. ## Operating Principle AI does not become an asset because it was purchased, deployed, or described as transformational. Its value must be evidenced. When the evidence cannot be produced, the first task is not optimization. It is resolution. ## Important Limitation AI Capital Recovery provides analytical and strategic advisory services. It does not provide legal, accounting, investment, or valuation opinions unless expressly delivered through appropriately qualified professionals.
