§ 01 · The problem
"We have 40 AI ideas. We can fund three. Which three?"
Every enterprise is sitting on a backlog of AI use cases. Some submitted by business units. Some sketched in offsites. Some buried in slide 47 of last year's strategy deck. Most never ship. Not because they're bad — because the prioritization conversation never converges.
The Prioritization Matrix is a structured tool that ends the conversation. Twelve proprietary criteria, a 2×2 priority view, a sequenced 12-month roadmap. The argument shifts from "which is best" to "which is next" — and the team gets back to building.
§ 02 · What you get
A scored matrix, a 2×2 view, a quarterly sequence.
Four deliverables built around your existing use case backlog. Fast, structured, defensible. Designed to converge the prioritization debate in your next strategy session.
DELIVERABLE 01
Scored use case matrix
Up to 50 use cases scored on 12 proprietary criteria across impact, feasibility, and risk dimensions. Excel + PDF formats, fully documented.
DELIVERABLE 02
2×2 priority view
The classic impact-vs-effort 2×2, populated and annotated. Quick wins, big bets, distractions, deferred. The slide your executive committee actually reads.
DELIVERABLE 03
Quarterly sequencing
12-month roadmap with three to five use cases sequenced by quarter. Dependencies surfaced, prerequisites flagged. Built to survive your next strategy session.
DELIVERABLE 04
Decision memo
4-6 page synthesis memo explaining the prioritization logic. Trade-offs surfaced, exclusions justified. The document you bring to the executive committee.
§ 03 · The method
Twelve criteria across three axes.
Most prioritization debates fail because everyone scores on different mental criteria. The Matrix locks the criteria — twelve of them, balanced across impact, feasibility, and risk. Same axes, same scoring, every use case.
AXIS 01 · IMPACT
Four impact criteria
Revenue uplift potential, cost reduction potential, strategic differentiation, and stakeholder visibility. Each scored 1-5 with explicit reasoning required — not just a number.
AXIS 02 · FEASIBILITY
Four feasibility criteria
Data readiness, technical complexity, internal capability, and time-to-value. The criteria that separate "great idea" from "shippable this year".
AXIS 03 · RISK
Four risk criteria
Regulatory exposure, customer-facing risk, vendor dependency, and reversibility. The dimensions executives systematically underweight in informal prioritization.
CONSOLIDATION
Weighted composite score
A weighted composite score combining all three axes — with the weights calibrated to your specific strategic context during the framing call. This is where most internal matrices fail.
§ 04 · Process & timeline
Two days. One framing call. One partner review.
A hybrid format: you do the scoring (you know your business best), we calibrate the criteria weights and pressure-test the output. Fast, structured, defensible.
DAY 01 · MORNING
Framing call
45-min partner-led call. We calibrate the twelve criteria weights to your strategic context, agree on the use case scope, share the templates.
DAY 01–02
Your scoring
Your team scores the use cases in the templates we provide. 3-6 hours of focused work depending on backlog size. Async, on your own time.
DAY 02
Partner review
We pressure-test your scores: outliers flagged, inconsistencies surfaced, calibration suggestions noted. Sectoral context applied.
DAY 02 · END
Delivery
Final scored matrix, 2×2 view, quarterly sequencing, decision memo. Plus 30-min walkthrough call to validate the read.
§ 05 · Who it's for
For teams that need to stop debating and start sequencing.
Built for executives and AI leaders who own a backlog of candidate use cases and need a defensible structure for the next prioritization conversation.
HEAD OF AI / CDO
You're sitting on 20-50 candidate use cases from business units. You need a defensible framework to converge with executives — not another spreadsheet.
CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER
You're building the AI roadmap for next year's strategic plan. You need a defensible sequence backed by transparent criteria, not gut feeling.
COO / TRANSFORMATION LEAD
You're scaling AI across business units and need a consistent way to compare initiatives, not 8 different scoring approaches per division.
PE OPERATING PARTNER
You're working with a participation's management team on their AI ambitions. The Matrix anchors the conversation in shared evidence, not vibes.
§ 06 · Frequently asked
Six honest answers to common questions.
Can't we build our own prioritization matrix?
You can. Most teams try. They usually converge on 4-6 criteria, miss the risk axis, and get stuck in debate. The proprietary value here is the calibrated weights and the partner review — not the spreadsheet itself.
How many use cases can we submit?
Up to 50 in the standard delivery. Beyond 50, we can extend scope — pricing adjusts to reflect additional review time. Most engagements land between 15 and 35 use cases.
Who should be involved on our side?
Best: a single owner with executive backing who can score on behalf of the team and arbitrate edge cases. Worst: a 12-person committee scoring by consensus. The Matrix is a decision tool, not a workshop.
What if we don't have 20 use cases yet?
If you have fewer than 10, the Matrix is probably overkill — you can prioritize informally. If you have 10-20, it still works and clarifies the trade-offs. The real value compounds above 20 use cases where intuition stops scaling.
How does this fit with the AI Business Case Builder (Skill 05)?
Naturally. The Matrix tells you which 3 use cases deserve to ship next. The Business Case Builder then builds a defensible quantified case for each. The Matrix is portfolio-level; the Business Case Builder is initiative-level.
Do we get the underlying methodology and templates?
Yes — the Excel templates with formulas, the 12-criteria definitions, and the weighting framework are yours to keep and re-run quarterly. The IP we keep is the calibration logic we apply during partner review.
§ Ready when you are
40 ideas. Three deserve to ship. We tell you which three.
