The AI ROI Business Case Brief
Combine the analysis into a decision-ready business case.Core Concept
The brief presents the baseline, four-category value view, cost, net ROI, assumptions, risks, and measurement commitment in one concise recommendation. It lets leaders approve a specific next step with eyes open.
This decision affects the value, delivery effort, operating ownership, and risk profile of the initiative long after the first release.
How to Apply This in Your Organization
State the requested decision clearly and link it to the evidence that supports it and the uncertainty still remaining.
Use one real workflow, its current systems and data, and the people accountable for the outcome. The purpose is a decision-ready recommendation, not a theoretical evaluation.
Decision Checklist
- Summarize baseline and value.
- Show cost and risk assumptions.
- Request one next decision.

Leadership approves a controlled pilot because the brief identifies the value hypothesis, full cost view, success threshold, and condition for moving to production.
