Start With Operational Use Cases
- Do focus AI efforts on operational use cases like supply chain, device uptime, and workforce management before pursuing clinical replacement scenarios.
- Do prioritize projects that improve daily operations and avoid chasing headline-driven clinical bot replacements early on.
