"To estimate these savings comprehensively, the CDDO employed a Monte Carlo-style simulation approach. This approach involves generating thousands of scenarios (5,000
simulations) by randomly assigning costs, transaction volumes, and digital adoption rates"

"a Large Language Model (LLM) was used to assess the content of each GOV.UK service page and categorise

I've very very much not an expert in benefit analysis but I'd love to see some professionals give feedback on all of this.

I really really want GDS to continue to be a success but this, especially the AI part, just smells bad. At the very least they could make the underlying data available.

Of course, if they really wanted to do an analysis of how to save money I'd look into why each government organisation builds digital services in isolation on their own infrastructure rather than collaborating on a broad whole government platform.
