Look for measurable friction
Focus on tasks that are repetitive, slow, expensive, inconsistent, or frustrating. Establish how much effort the current process requires before changing it.
Calculate total cost
Include subscriptions, setup, integrations, employee training, administration, review time, support, and the cost of correcting mistakes. The advertised price is only part of the investment.
Define success before the pilot
Decide what improvement would make the project worthwhile. That might be faster turnaround, less repetitive work, better consistency, or easier access to information.
Compare old and new
Run a limited test and measure the difference. A real comparison is more useful than assuming that AI automatically creates productivity.
