The best AI use case is not necessarily the task that looks most impressive in a demo.
Value
Estimate the economic or service impact if the workflow improves. Time saved is useful only when it changes capacity, speed, quality or customer outcomes.
Workflow fit
Ask where the model enters the process, what information it needs and what happens immediately before and after its output.
Consequence and reversibility
Low-consequence drafts are different from autonomous actions that affect money, rights, safety or access. Reversible errors permit lighter controls.
Oversight
Define who can detect a problem, who can intervene, what should be logged and when the system should stop rather than improvise.
Keep exploring
Turn the idea into an operating move.
Continue with a practical resource, a structured system, or an advisory conversation when context matters.
