Use-Case Scoring — Prioritize AI Use Cases Objectively
Too many AI ideas, too little capacity: without objective criteria the loudest stakeholder wins, not the most valuable use case. Weighted scoring makes prioritization transparent and defensible.
At a glance
- Scoring per use case across five criteria: business value, feasibility, data quality, risk control and time-to-value
- A weighted ranking of your entire use-case portfolio
- A transparent decision basis for steering and budget
- The top candidate that flows directly into governance check and roadmap
What you get, specifically
In the tool
- Each use case rated on five criteria: business value, feasibility, data quality, risk control and time-to-value
- A weighted score per use case; you adjust the default weighting (30 / 25 / 20 / 15 / 10%) in the weights editor
- Automatic placement in one of four quadrants based on business value and feasibility: quick win, strategic bet, low-hanging fruit or avoid
- Portfolio table and matrix view, assignment to a business area and a link to a use-case canvas
- Up to 3 use cases with a free account, no such limit with Pro
In the PDF report (Pro)
- A ranked list of your use cases, the top three highlighted
- A value × feasibility matrix with the fields quick win, strategic, selective and defer
- The distribution across quadrants and a portfolio logic derived from your actual number of quick wins
Who it is for
For teams with more AI ideas than capacity who need to justify their selection to a steering group and budget owners. Instead of the loudest stakeholder, a weighted score that everyone can follow decides — and its result flows straight into the governance check and roadmap.
