Is your SaaS business resilient against the AI wave?
Generative and agentic AI are fundamentally reshaping the SaaS landscape. Routine, rules-based workflows are shifting from human users to AI agents and that directly affects the valuation and exit multiple of your business. For founders preparing a sale in the coming years, this isn’t an abstract future scenario but an urgent strategic question: where does my product stand in the new balance of power?
Building on research by Bain & Company, NexyZ developed a framework that plots your products along two axes: AI task automation and AI workflow penetration. The outcome classifies each product as Core Stronghold, Open Door, Gold Mine, or Battleground, each with its own strategic playbook on the path to exit.
Curious about the framework?
Within the framework, two dimensions are assessed to analyse the current situation of a SaaS company’s products:
- the potential of AI to automate user tasks within SaaS
- the potential of AI to integrate into and transform the workflow
The assessments categorise the products into four categories and then analyse the strategic implications, with the aim of making the most of the insights and optimising the strategic position
