The problem

Most organizations don't have too few AI ideas — they have too many.

Without a shared way to compare AI ideas, the loudest idea in the room usually wins the roadmap, not the most valuable one. "AI strategy" ends up being a list instead of a plan.

Every department has a favorite AI pilot, with no common yardstick

Feasibility gets discovered after the budget is already spent

"AI strategy" becomes a list instead of a sequenced plan

What's inside

Two axes, four quadrants, one shared decision.

Score every AI idea on impact and feasibility, plot it, and let the quadrant tell you what to do with it.

Impact Axis

A guided way to score the business value of an idea, not just its novelty.

Feasibility Axis

Data readiness, technical complexity, and risk combined into one score.

Quadrant Guide

What to actually do with ideas that land in each of the four zones.

Facilitation Script

How to run the prioritization session so it doesn't turn into a debate.

Decision Log

A place to record why each idea was ranked where it was, for the next planning cycle.
