Chapter 13 · Group 1: Decide What Is Worth Pursuing
Put a proposed initiative through a structured case-for-action test.
A weighted scorecard that recommends one of seven paths: proceed to pilot, conduct discovery, build the foundation, redesign the process, use a simpler solution, monitor for later, or stop.
Applies the 8-part case-for-action test and recommends one of 7 concrete next steps, including 'Stop.' This tool applies the framework from Chapter 13 of The Enterprise AI Blueprint by W. Perry Underdown and returns a directional, structured read — not an audit finding.
