Read the Persana case study ↗
We found a minimum of 2 published case studies here. There may be more we have not found. Case studies are published by the vendor. Customer names, figures, and outcomes are the vendor's claims. The Revenue AI Report has not audited them. Independently checked findings live in Research, with method, sample, and field date attached.
How to read these claims
- The sample is chosen by the seller
- A case study is the best result the vendor is allowed to publish. It is not a sample of all customers. The accounts that churned do not get a page.
- There is no control group
- Almost no vendor study compares the team using the tool against a matched team that did not. Without that comparison, the lift reported cannot be separated from headcount changes, pricing changes, seasonality, or a good quarter.
- The baseline is usually missing
- A percentage gain means nothing without the starting number. A 300% increase in meetings from two meetings a week is eight. Ask for the absolute figures and the time window.
- Activity is not revenue
- Most published gains are activity metrics: emails sent, replies, hours saved, meetings booked. Closed revenue, win rate, and retention are the metrics that survive a board meeting. Ask which one the study actually measured.
- Named logos are not always customers
- Logos and case studies have been published for accounts that had already churned or had only run a pilot. Ask the reference directly, by name, and ask how long they have been live.
Field notes: what users say in public
No usable independent review evidence was found for Persana at the time of the last check. Small or new vendors often have no public review base. Ask for three references at your company size and run a paid pilot with an exit clause instead of relying on scores that do not exist yet.
Claims versus the record
No citable discrepancy between this vendor's public claims and independent reporting was found at the time of the last check. That is not verification. It means nothing has been published either way, so the claims above still rest on the vendor's own account.
What has to be true before you buy
The Report does not review tools in isolation. Every tool on this map is connected to three things we publish elsewhere on the site: a decision framework that tells you how to evaluate it, a research theme that shows what we have measured in the market around it, and an essay that applies both to a real case. Those links appear at the bottom of this section so you can verify our reasoning instead of taking this page at face value.
Ambition level: Amplify
The structure changes. Judge it on win rate, forecast accuracy, or churn, with a baseline.
Get accepted and qualified rates, not meetings booked, before the contract is signed.
Friction at this stage
- Dirty lists and stale contact data
- Generic personalization
- Manual account research
The framework to apply
BUILD / BUY / THREAD is the decision framework the Report uses for tools at this stage. Decides whether an agent is bought, built, or threaded into what you already run.
The research behind it
The proof gap is the market evidence we have published for this category, with method, sample, and field date attached. How thin the published evidence is behind autonomous prospecting claims.
The essay that applies it
AI SDR unit economics shows this framework and this evidence applied to a real situation, so you can see the reasoning end to end.
