Is This a Good Use Case for AI?
Answer four quick questions about a specific task to get a directional read on whether it's a good fit for AI assistance, worth using with human review, or better left to a person.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a formal risk assessment framework?
No — it's a quick, practical checklist to prompt the right questions before adopting AI for a task, not a substitute for a real risk or compliance review in a regulated industry or high-stakes setting.
What if I get a 'use with caution' result?
It usually means the task has real value from AI assistance but also real consequences if it's wrong — a good candidate for AI-assisted-with-human-review rather than fully automated.
Why does 'how verifiable is the output' matter so much?
Because AI models can produce confident, fluent, and wrong answers (hallucination). A task where errors are easy to catch before they cause harm is much lower-risk than one where a wrong answer could go unnoticed.
