Adoption
Cycle-time oriented
Measurement
Problem
Teams chased generic AI pilots without a clear map of which sales steps actually benefit from automation.
Approach
- Separated automatable admin work from judgment-heavy selling motions.
- Ranked workflows by revenue impact and integration feasibility.
- Aligned stakeholders on one measurable cycle-time metric before build.
Outcome
A prioritization lens tied to cycle time, data readiness, and ROI — not novelty.
