What specific pain point or outcome are we solving?

Problem statement + baseline

Where does the problem occur and who is affected?

Current-state workflow / user needs

What measurable improvement would matter?

Target metrics: clinical, operational, experience, financial as appropriate

Is AI actually better than rules, process redesign or standard software?

Simplest viable approach decision

Do we have the right data, permissions, interfaces, timing and ownership?

Data / integration map + gaps

Can we prove the core workflow safely with synthetic, de-identified or approved data as appropriate?

Bounded prototype + failure modes

Does it work for the intended users, population and workflow, and is it safe enough for the intended use?

Evaluation evidence + go/no-go criteria

Who owns rollout, training, workflow integration, support and escalation?

Deployment / adoption plan

Does performance and value persist, and can it scale operationally, economically and governably?

Monitoring, ownership, economics, support, change control + scale decision
