■ Purpose of the Report
There is an argument that AI will replace labor and expand the Total Addressable Market (TAM) far beyond SaaS. However, from the perspective of AI adopters, the management effect of this argument can be said to be limited to personnel costs. On the other hand, overseas, there are emerging cases where unstructured data, organized through AI-driven operational efficiency, contributes to top-line growth. This report uses AI application examples from the medical industry as an analogy to explore the question of whether AI can truly enhance corporate value.

■ Excerpts from the Report
~The argument that the TAM (Total Addressable Market) of AI agents will expand from the traditional software industry to the labor market is a perspective from the "selling side" and "investing side" of AI services. However, the large corporations we support are primarily on the "utilizing side" of AI services. The ultimate goal is to increase corporate value by applying AI to their own operations and business models.
For adopting companies, "labor replacement" by AI is synonymous with personnel cost reduction. The total personnel cost of employees engaged in the target operations becomes the ceiling for possible cost reduction. The multi-billion dollar market opportunity envisioned by Sequoia is, in other words, merely a multi-billion dollar cost reduction potential from the perspective of the adopting companies.~
~The case of Ambient Scribe in the medical industry is merely a story in a specific domain of clinical data and voice. However, the structure of "valuable data dormant outside core systems" is not limited to healthcare. There is a theory that 80% of corporate knowledge exists as unstructured data outside core systems. Various data are generated daily but never flow into any core system, deteriorating without being searched or analyzed. Here lies a significant investment opportunity.~
~Firstly, it's not just about which of your business processes can be made more efficient, but also where valuable data can be acquired in that process. Among the data not captured by core systems, which data contributes as a lever for top-line improvement? That is the business area that should be targeted for AI application.
Secondly, to what extent should AI implementation be internalized? Even if the foundational models of LLMs themselves are external, should the environmental design for optimizing them for internal use and the mechanisms outside the model be entrusted to external vendors? Using external services as-is allows for quick adoption, but competitors can also use the same services. On the other hand, if such mechanisms can be internalized, it becomes a differentiating factor. However, if LLM platform providers start incorporating industry-specific functions, AI investments in those areas risk commoditization. It is necessary to discern the boundary between self-reliance and external reliance.~
