    Priority Area 1

     
    The process repeats often
    The input already exists in a system, spreadsheet, inbox, call log, or document
    The output is predictable enough to standardize
    Faster response or better visibility would create real business value
    A human can review exceptions instead of doing everything manually
     

    Priority Area 2

    Good First AI Pilots

    Usually look like

    • Repetitive weekly or daily work
    • Slow roll-up reporting
    • Repeated admin or support questions
    • Location-by-location content adaptation
