Simple methodPotential annual labor value = hours/week × 52 × loaded labor rate × automatable share. Economic scale is scored relative to the largest opportunity in the entered portfolio. Priority score = 20% business value + 15% repeatability + 15% data readiness + 20% AI fit + 15% economic scale + 5% low judgment need + 5% low risk + 5% low implementation effort.

Advanced methodTheoretical labor value = hours/week × working weeks × loaded rate × automatable share. Realized value = theoretical value × portfolio realization factor. Annual net benefit = realized value − recurring AI/software cost. Priority blends economic attractiveness (30%), AI fit/repeatability/data readiness (35%), quality pain (10%), low judgment/risk (15%) and low change effort (10%). Economic attractiveness combines relative annual net benefit with payback speed.

Scope
High-value work is not always the best work to automate first
This tool is a portfolio-planning model. It does not determine whether a particular AI system is accurate, compliant, secure or appropriate for autonomous decision-making. High-risk or high-judgment processes may still benefit from AI assistance, but often with human review, narrower task scope, stronger testing and explicit controls. The economic outputs are scenario estimates, not guaranteed savings.
