- Fully editable Word document (.docx)
- Structured scoring criteria: business value, feasibility, and risk
- Approval and prioritisation workflow
- Designed to feed into your AI Impact Assessment and Risk Register
Who it’s for
Business owners, CTOs, and innovation leads who need a consistent way to evaluate AI ideas before committing resources.
Key features of this AI use case evaluation template
Most AI projects fail not because the technology doesn’t work, but because nobody scored the idea against real business value or risk before building it — a pattern Gartner has documented across abandoned AI pilots. This template forces that conversation upfront — value, feasibility, and risk scored side by side — so leadership can prioritise with evidence rather than enthusiasm.
It’s built to plug directly into a wider governance process: use cases that pass evaluation flow straight into your AI Impact Assessment and Risk Register, so nothing gets built off the back of an informal Slack conversation.
Unlike a generic project-prioritisation matrix, this template is scoped to the specific risks AI use cases carry — model reliability, data sensitivity, and regulatory exposure — that a standard business case template won’t surface.
