AI Opportunity Audit — Interactive Checklist

Use this interactive audit to evaluate, score, and prioritize potential AI initiatives. Each item helps you record evidence and produce a defensible prioritization that aligns with measurable business outcomes and your current capacity. If you prefer a quick scan, answer rapidly; for higher-confidence prioritization, attach evidence and consult stakeholders.

Suggested quick scoring formula (optional): OutcomeAlignment*0.35 + Feasibility*(1 - EffortNormalized)*0.25 + DataQuality*0.15 + StakeholderSupport*0.15 + (ROINormalized)*0.10. Normalize numeric fields to match the 1–5 scale you use here. You can use the ManualPriorityScore field below to record the computed result.
