The5percent.ai bridges the gap from AI potential to measurable business impact, empowering organizations to join the elite 5% who deliver real AI outcomes.
Born from the MIT Nanda study, our insights reveal that methodology—not technology—drives AI success.
We partner with leading academic institutions to ensure our guidance is grounded in rigorous, empirical research rather than vendor marketing or anecdotal evidence.
Constantly updated through awards, research, and community insights—always current, always actionable.
As we recognize successful deployments and facilitate peer learning, we continuously refine our understanding of what drives real AI transformation.
Help 10,000 organizations join the 5% by 2028 through research, recognition, and peer learning.
Initially rooted in the learnings from the MIT Nanda 2025 report, this will be kept up to date with learnings from our community and the identified awards winners.
Not a Vendor Directory
We do not rank vendors or sell placements. We highlight teams and patterns that moved P&L.
Not Marketing Theater
We focus on deployed solutions with measurable business outcomes, not impressive demos or pilot announcements.
Not Vendor-Influenced
Our awards judging panel maintains independence. We maintain editorial independence in all content.
Your journey to AI excellence starts here. Multiple pathways to transform your AI initiatives from stalled pilots to production success.
