PLANNING WORKBENCH

# Choose a first project you can evaluate.

Score one process at a time using the same scale. The score supports discussion: ownership, data access and risk can block an otherwise attractive idea.

## Your assumptions

Values stay on this page. The website does not send or save them. Download your result before closing.

Calculation needs JavaScript. The method, formulas, example and downloadable templates remain available below.

Answer what you know: “Not sure” is valid. Unanswered questions become points to check.

**Observable impact**

1 = marginal usefulness; 3 = improves a team metric; 5 = addresses a measured bottleneck.

**Work frequency**

1 = rare; 3 = weekly; 5 = many times each day. Apply the same anchors to every candidate.

**Data and process readiness**

1 = process and data need discovery; 3 = partial sample; 5 = representative examples and verified rules.

**Delivery effort**

1 = one system and few dependencies; 3 = multiple systems; 5 = migration or extensive organisational change.

**Consequences of an error**

1 = internal and reversible; 3 = costly but containable correction; 5 = severe or hard-to-reverse consequences.

**Is a process owner available?**

**Is data access verified and authorised?**

## Your result

Enter what you know and choose “Review assumptions”. See what the answers support and what still needs checking.

## How to read the result

[Source for this section](https://stolenorbit.com/en/tools/ai-project-prioritizer/#tool-method-heading)

Use a 1–5 scale for each criterion. Impact, frequency and readiness raise the score; effort and risk lower it. Equal weights: \[impact + frequency + readiness + (6 − effort) + (6 − risk) − 5\] ÷ 20 × 100.

65 is a workshop threshold chosen for this tool, not a validated benchmark. Without an owner, verified access, or with risk at 4–5, the recommendation is preparation before a pilot.

### Comparison example

Impact 4, frequency 5, readiness 4, effort 2 and risk 2 give 80/100. Without an owner, that project still needs preparation. A lower-scoring project with reliable data and clear ownership may start sooner.
