AX cases & methodology
AX succeeds when a team chooses the right workflow and assigns operational ownership, not when it picks a model. This hub covers use-case selection, PoC validation, production gates, and decision structure from an implementation perspective.
● RECOMMENDED READING
From validation criteria to a working pipeline
Set decision criteria with the PoC-to-production gates, then see how a narrow workflow enters a real pipeline in the quote-automation article. Continue structural ownership questions in the application modernization hub.

● COMMON QUESTIONS
Common questions when putting AI transformation into practice
What separates an AI PoC from a production service?+
A production decision must cover real data, permissions, exceptions, cost, monitoring, and an accountable operating team. Demo accuracy alone does not clear those gates.
How should we choose the first AX use case?+
Evaluate business impact, implementation difficulty, available data, and a committed workflow owner together. A promising idea without data or an operator is a poor first candidate.
Does a narrow automation still need production gates?+
Yes. Even a small workflow needs defined input data, exception handling, approval authority, recovery, and ownership before a demo can safely enter day-to-day operations.
