Description

This working paper introduces Revenue at Risk from AI Displacement (RaR-AID) as a formally defined category of enterprise financial exposure and presents a structured methodology for its calculation. As AI systems become the primary intermediary in an increasing proportion of commercial purchase decisions, the systematic displacement of brands before the final recommendation creates a quantifiable revenue exposure that does not yet appear in most enterprise risk frameworks.

Drawing on the AIVO Standard empirical corpus of 1,427 structured brand probes across ten industries and four major AI platforms, and confirmed by three independent research programmes published in 2026, this paper establishes that 87.3% of brands present at the first turn of a multi-turn AI buying conversation are displaced by a competitor before the final purchase recommendation, and that 75.7% of brand facts possessed by the model are not deployed at the decision turn. These findings constitute a systematic and measurable financial exposure for brands with material AI-mediated category revenue.

The paper presents the Revenue at Risk from AI Displacement (RaR-AID) calculation methodology, consisting of three inputs — Category-relevant Annual Revenue (CAR), AI-mediated Purchase Influence Rate (APIR), and Measured AI Displacement Rate (ADR) — and their combination into a financially quantified board-level exposure figure. A reference engagement in the Financial Services sector is used to illustrate the methodology's application. The paper argues that RaR-AID constitutes a material risk exposure suitable for board-level reporting alongside established risk categories including credit risk, commodity price risk, and supply chain exposure.
