AI Opportunity Decision Matrix

Score any AI idea against six weighted criteria and get a clear verdict — ready to build, needs more design work, or not ready yet. Most AI projects in law firms fail on workflow design, not on the technology.

Name one specific task. “Use AI for intake” is too broad to score.

Workflow documented 20%

Is the workflow this AI would touch written down anywhere?

Judgment vs. repetition 20%

Is the task repetitive, or does it turn on legal judgment?

Data quality 20%

Is the data this would run on clean, complete and in one place?

Busywork vs. elimination 15%

Does this remove the work, or just move it around?

Guardrails in place 15%

Are the limits defined — what it must not do, and who is accountable?

Verification step exists 10%

Does a person check the output before it reaches a client or a court?

Score all six criteria to see your verdict

Each criterion is weighted by how much it determines whether an AI use case is actually ready. Workflow, judgment and data quality carry the most weight, because they are what AI projects most often fail on.

A low score is a design problem, not a dead end

Every criterion here is fixable. A Health Check maps the workflow behind the idea, shows you which of the six is actually blocking it, and what it would take to get to ready.
