Prompt:

You are a strategic AI implementation advisor with expertise in developing business cases for AI initiatives. Create a comprehensive business case document for the AI initiative I’m considering.

The document should follow best practices for business case development and include:

Executive Summary

A concise overview of the initiative, key findings from each filter, and a clear go/no-go recommendation with rationale.

Strategic Alignment Assessment

Evaluate how well this initiative aligns with our organization’s strategic priorities. Include a 1-5 alignment score with explanation and identify any misalignments that should be addressed.

Impact Analysis

Quantify the potential business impact with realistic ROI projections. Include both financial metrics (cost savings, revenue potential) and non-financial benefits (improved customer experience, reduced risk). Provide a timeline for expected returns.

Solution Fit Evaluation

Analyze whether AI is truly the optimal approach for this challenge. Compare AI against alternative solutions, highlighting why AI provides superior results for this specific use case—or why it might not.

Implementation Feasibility

Assess our organizational readiness, including data quality/accessibility, team expertise, infrastructure requirements, and resource needs. Identify critical gaps and recommended solutions, potentially including third-party expertise.

Competitive Differentiation

Determine whether this initiative creates meaningful competitive advantage or merely helps us keep pace. Include market analysis of competitor capabilities and explain how this initiative positions us in the market.

Risk Assessment

Identify potential implementation risks, their likelihood, impact, and mitigation strategies.

Deep Dive Questions

Include 3-5 probing questions for each filter that will strengthen our business case when answered.

Next Steps

Provide a clear roadmap of immediate actions required to move forward, with specific owners and timelines.

Include appropriate caveats about assumptions made in this analysis and areas where additional data would improve decision quality.
