Hi Gerri,
It’s a metric that assesses the effectiveness of a specific activity within a business in relation to the overall expenditures or budget allocated to that function.

I believe it’s about spendings, not savings. Andrew says at 2:45:

“Moreover, as a percentage of all the spending on customer operations,
generative AI impact will be pretty large as well, maybe approaching 40% of the total spend on customer operations. In contrast, it will also have hundreds of billions of dollars impact on sales. But as a percentage of the total spend on sales, it is much smaller.”

to make it more understandable:
can you compare it with return on investment (kind of)?
