Key Takeaways
Start with a workflow and business objective.
Assess data, access, and human review requirements early.
Define success criteria before building.
Start With the Business Workflow
Useful AI adoption starts with a specific workflow, not a generic tool search. Identify the users, handoffs, data sources, decision points, exception paths, and current pain points before selecting a model or platform.
Check the Data and Control Environment
The workflow may need cleaner data, better permissions, source documentation, or clearer approval rules before AI should be introduced. These foundations reduce operational risk and make the implementation easier to evaluate.
Define What Success Means
Success should be tied to observable business outcomes such as reduced manual effort, faster information retrieval, better reporting quality, fewer missed handoffs, or clearer decision preparation. Avoid measuring success only by whether a tool was launched.
