Illustrative example An illustrative working example, not a client story.
The situation
A company has a dozen AI pilots across several departments. Every team is enthusiastic, and the leadership team can't say which ones deserve next year's budget.
The question I'd ask
What decision is each pilot meant to inform, and who owns that decision?
What would change
Each pilot gets one page: the user, the problem, the value it should create, the decision owner, and the evidence that would justify the next step. Pilots without an owner pause until they have one.
What we'd look for
A shorter list the leadership team can fund or stop with confidence, with a date for each decision.
Someone needs to own what happens next.
