Pick high-leverage use cases and sequence them

Enterprise adoption fails when the first use case is too broad, too sensitive or too dependent on perfect integrations. Sequencing matters: each release should build platform capability, governance maturity and stakeholder trust.

Start bounded

Enterprises commonly do this backwards: they pick flashy use cases that need perfect integrations, pristine data and broad permissions. Instead, look for processes that are:

• frequent (volume),
• repeatable (an SOP exists),
• painful (a clear cost or cycle time),
• and safe to constrain (a limited blast radius).

Strong early candidates

• Service desk triage: classify, gather missing information, propose resolution steps.
• Incident response assistant: pull logs, correlate alerts, draft postmortems.
• Procurement and vendor onboarding: validate documents, populate forms, route approvals.
• Finance reconciliations: match transactions, flag anomalies, draft exceptions.

Score, then sequence

A simple rubric keeps politics out of prioritization: impact (time, money, risk), feasibility (tool access, process clarity, integration readiness), governance risk (data sensitivity, regulation) and change readiness (a process owner, training appetite, adoption likelihood). Then sequence the portfolio:

• Quick wins: read-only and recommend.
• Core operations: act with approval.
• Differentiators: autonomous in constrained domains.

Start with bounded domains and build maturity; don't start with the flashiest idea.
