AI can assist a business process when the task and success criteria are clear. Adding a model to an unclear workflow often moves the confusion into another interface rather than resolving the underlying decision.
Document how the process works today, including exceptions and handoffs. Identify the step where prediction, extraction or drafting may help. Compare the proposal with simpler options such as a better form, search function or rule-based check.
Choose a bounded pilot using representative inputs. For an inquiry workflow, measure whether the system captures the actual requirement and routes it correctly, rather than whether it produces a polished summary. Keep unresolved questions visible to the next reviewer.
Review costs, correction time and outcomes against the original process. Assign an owner for changes to prompts, data and models. Retain a usable manual route for cases the system cannot handle reliably.
