Chapter 3 focuses on selecting high-impact agentic AI use cases first so organizations can show value quickly and avoid low-leverage pilot fatigue.

Use a Value-vs-Complexity Filter

The chapter recommends scoring opportunities by expected value, implementation complexity, data readiness, and change impact. High-value, moderate-complexity workflows should be prioritized before ambitious moonshots.

Start with Repeatable, Decision-Heavy Work

The best early candidates combine frequent execution, clear inputs/outputs, and meaningful decision logic. These workflows benefit most from autonomous planning and execution while still being measurable.

Avoid the Most Common Prioritization Errors

Chapter 3 warns against choosing use cases based on novelty, executive preference, or data availability alone. Instead, choose based on business impact, operational fit, and realistic path to production.
