API reference · method v0.4

The AI Value Report API

JSON over HTTPS. Base URL https://www.aivaluereport.com. All money is US dollars in whole dollars. Every response carries method_version and as_of, and the headers X-AIVR-Method-Version and X-AIVR-As-Of.

Authentication

Send your API key in the x-api-key header, or as Authorization: Bearer <key>. /v1/companies needs no key. Free accounts get 100 calls a month; keys are issued from your account once checkout opens, or by request during the founding period.

curl -H "x-api-key: $AIVR_KEY" https://www.aivaluereport.com/v1/companies/CRM/ai-pnl

Key fields

FieldMeaning
ai_investmentAnnual AI spend with low and high range. basis is disclosed (stated by the company), derived (built from stated figures) or modeled (our estimate).
claimed_valueManagement's quantified AI value claims, annualized, that point at a reported line.
verified_valueHow far that line beat its expected path (average of own-trend and peer baselines), capped at the claim, never below zero. generous and strict give the range; attribution_weighted weights by the probability each claim is AI-attributed.
net_ai_returnverified_value.base − ai_investment.base. best and worst combine the method range with the investment range.
impact.margin_bpsNet AI return ÷ revenue, in basis points. −34 means AI costs 0.34% of revenue more than it shows.
verdictPaying off · Partly visible · Not visible · Not testable.
confidenceHigh · Medium · Low, scored 0–5 with its parts: disclosed investment, testable claim, methods agree, clear AI attribution. Describes certainty, not performance.
productivity_vs_peersRevenue per employee change versus the peer median. Context only; comparable=false flags spin-offs and similar breaks.
