Map the work first
Choose a repeatable task and document how it currently happens. Note the people involved, the information required and the points where judgement matters.
Check the information available
Understand the quality, ownership and permitted use of the information involved. A promising idea may need better data foundations before AI becomes useful.
Keep the pilot bounded
Choose a small enough scope to review safely and learn quickly. Define when a person should check, approve or override an output.
Evaluate the whole workflow
Consider accuracy, time spent reviewing results, operating cost and the experience of the people using the system. Compare the pilot with the original process.
