The best early AI projects usually begin inside an overloaded queue. Look for one workflow with high volume, repeatable decisions, and a clear cost of delay.
A use case that can show value in 30 to 60 days deserves more attention than an impressive workflow that needs six months of systems cleanup first.
Every candidate use case needs a baseline metric such as response time, cost per transaction, or review hours saved. If you cannot measure it, you cannot defend it.
