Find out whether an AI use case is creating value

A positive user survey is a useful signal. A funding decision needs a clearer account of what changed, how it was measured and what happened to the benefit.

Start with four questions

  1. What outcome matters for this workload?
  2. What happened before AI was introduced?
  3. Does the output meet the agreed quality requirement?
  4. Did the improvement become capacity, avoided expenditure, revenue or another outcome?

Build the record

Use the value measurement guide to define the claim. Record the evidence and the benefit separately, then compare them with the full cost.
