A strong leadership use case is not the most impressive-sounding one. It is a recurring decision or task with reasonably clear inputs, visible delays or rework, and a human owner who remains accountable.
Start with a baseline: preparation time, clarification rounds, common errors, and who fixes them. Without a baseline, you cannot show whether AI created value or merely created more output.
AI can summarize, compare options, surface unknowns, and prepare drafts. It cannot replace decision rights, verify every fact, or receive confidential data in an unapproved tool.
Your output is a 30-day pilot statement covering the owner, task, current baseline, target, reviewer, and stop condition.

I am evaluating AI for [task]. Ask me one question at a time about the output user, data, current time, common errors, decision rights, and risk. Then draft a one-page pilot brief. Do not recommend tools until those questions are answered.
