Decision tool / automation
AI Automation Opportunity Scorecard
Choose the operating model from the work, risk and judgement involved — not from the newest tool.
How the scorecard thinks
Give software only the authority the process can justify.
Definition, repeatability, interpretation, consequence, reversibility, observability and judgement narrow the operating model before a tool is chosen.
