AI Opportunity Score
Also known as: AI scorecard, AI opportunity assessment
Definition
An AI Opportunity Score evaluates where a business can use AI safely and profitably by scoring workflow friction, data readiness, customer response, revenue follow-up, back-office opportunity, adoption readiness, governance, and implementation feasibility.
A useful score should route action. It should tell leadership what to do first, what needs cleanup, and what should not be automated yet.
The score is a planning tool, not a guarantee of ROI.
