Agentic AI's $3.50-per-dollar average return masks a 70% task-failure rate on the Carnegie Mellon benchmark; only narrowly-scoped deployments clear the reality bar.

Correction log

1. 28 Apr 2026Article retracted 28 Apr 2026. Slug language ('revolution', 'real-world success stories') carries hype register the publication explicitly avoids; survey-of-surveys structure does not stand up to source-verification at the level the publication now demands. Google has rejected the URL despite an active claim status. URL now redirects to /retractions/?retired=the-agentic-ai-revolution-real-world-success-stories-and-strategic-insights-from-2024-2025. Claim withdrawn — status moves to Not holding, no further reviews scheduled.
2. 06 May 2026URL state changed. The /the-agentic-ai-revolution-real-world-success-stories-and-strategic-insights-from-2024-2025/ slug now serves a deliberately rewritten retrospective (claimId AM-130, "Agentic AI 2024-2025 retrospective", published 04 May 2026) against audited primary sources. The 28 Apr 2026 redirect to /retractions/ has been lifted to allow that. AM-002 the claim remains Not holding — the original $3.50/dollar + 70% failure-rate framing was withdrawn and is not restored. AM-130 is a separate claim with its own evidence chain. Readers arriving at /holding/AM-002 see the withdrawal here; the article link surfaces the new piece at the URL the original lived at, with this entry as the audit trail.
