Executive teams should evaluate AI investment against operating quality, not novelty. This scorecard helps leaders test whether AI is improving the revenue system.
Scorecard
| Category | Leadership question |
|---|---|
| Signal quality | Are we identifying better accounts, or just collecting more noise? |
| Content proof | Do we have factual, role-relevant assets buyers can trust? |
| Workflow speed | Is AI reducing lag in research, follow-up, and reporting? |
| Conversion quality | Are opportunities moving faster and closing more predictably? |
| Governance | Are prompts, approvals, and measurement rules clearly owned? |
How to Use It
Review the scorecard quarterly with marketing, sales, operations, and leadership in the same room. If disagreement on definitions appears, the operating model needs work before another AI purchase.
