Begin with a recurring bottleneck and determine whether intelligence can remove it responsibly.
Find repetitive judgement
Strong opportunities include sorting information, drafting a first response, extracting structure from documents, or finding patterns across material.
Keep people at the consequential moments
AI should accelerate preparation while leaving important approvals, sensitive communication, and high-impact decisions with accountable people.
Start narrow and instrument the result
A focused pilot can reveal accuracy, adoption, edge cases, and actual time saved. Define a baseline and collect failures as carefully as successes.
