AI use case mapperDeterministic v1

Map a workflow to the AI patterns inside it.

Pick a common workflow and see the likely AI implementation patterns, data prerequisites, human-review points, failure modes, and evaluation questions. This is educational, not a recommendation to automate the workflow.

Mapped workflow

Vendor demo review

Summarize claims, separate evidence from projection, and form questions.

SummarizationRetrievalEvaluationCopilot

Data prerequisites

Demo notes, transcripts, slides, pricing pages, security docs, and contracts.
A checklist of claims to verify: capability, integration, data, risk, and cost.
Comparable internal requirements or current workflow constraints.
Source links for any claim the summary repeats.

Human review points

Claims about ROI, automation rate, model accuracy, or compliance readiness.
Integration statements that depend on undocumented internal systems.
Security, data-retention, and permissioning assertions.
Anything likely to become a buying decision or executive recommendation.

Where it can fail

The summary makes the vendor sound more proven than the evidence supports.
Important caveats vanish because they were mentioned briefly.
Marketing terms are translated into false technical certainty.
The output becomes procurement advice instead of literacy support.

Evaluation questions

Can each important claim be traced to a source or marked as unsupported?
Does the output name the questions a buyer should still ask?
Are implementation dependencies separated from product features?
Would a skeptical reviewer catch missing evidence before a decision meeting?

What would need to be true

Useful AI starts with workflow facts, not tool enthusiasm.

A stable evidence checklist for vendor claims.
Explicit labels for shown, claimed, measured, and unverified.
A source-link requirement for repeated factual claims.
A boundary that avoids vendor ranking or recommendation language.

Guardrails

This mapper teaches pattern recognition.

No ROI claim
It does not estimate savings, readiness, or business value.
No vendor ranking
It explains implementation shapes, not which product to buy.
No automation order
Human approval points stay visible instead of being smoothed away.
Pro-ready foundation
A future version can save worksheets or add AI-assisted workflow intake.

Pro direction

Later: turn this into a saved worksheet.

The public version uses curated examples. A future Pro version could let a reader describe their own workflow, save the map, refine the evidence checklist, and turn it into a pilot-scoping worksheet with explicit guardrails.
