Choose a Play for the problem you need to solve. The suggested order considers prerequisites, relevance, evidence and feasibility; it is not a universal ranking or an ROI score. Confidence in a method does not tell you what return your business will achieve. If you already have the economics needed for a decision, you can use P01 within another Play rather than run it as a separate programme.
Before committing budget, use T1 to choose Do now, Prepare, Experiment or Avoid. An unresolved safety, authority, economics or evidence issue takes priority over the suggested order. This library does not call for more than one AI experiment.
The order below is an editorial route through dependencies, commercial relevance, applicability, evidence and feasibility; it is not an empirical universal ranking or an ROI score.
A recurring workflow consumes material effort, delays useful decisions or produces avoidable errors.
Decision
Should this task remain human, use rules/native tools, add AI, or justify dynamic tool use?
Primary metric
Incremental realised operating savings or useful contribution net of full added cost; capacity reported separately.
Readiness
Basic; execution Connected
AI role
Workflow under test
Prerequisite
P01 — Only when the selected intervention depends on unresolved customer-cohort economics. For workflow cost or other non-customer economics, use the relevant T2 view; P01 is not a prerequisite.
Repeated recommendations do not become actions, or teams optimise incompatible objectives while money and capacity remain fixed.
Decision
Which feasible tranche or intervention should be funded, held, changed or stopped?
Primary metric
Portfolio contribution change net of coordination and transition cost, qualified when causal separation is infeasible.
Readiness
Actual authority required
AI role
Optional assist
Prerequisite
P01 — Only when the selected intervention depends on unresolved customer-cohort economics. For workflow cost or other non-customer economics, use the relevant T2 view; P01 is not a prerequisite.
Copy the Play you need and complete only the relevant parts of T1–T5. Name the people responsible, define the customer group, agree economic and customer limits, and set a review date before starting. An empty decision threshold is not permission to act. Basic, Connected and Advanced describe how the work is configured; Experimental describes its evidence. AI is optional: compare each AI step with a simpler way of doing the same work.
