  1. <section> <h2>Find hidden AI opportunities that actually matter</h2> <p>If your team wants breakthroughs instead of incremental ideas, this short research playbook helps you discover non-obvious, testable AI opportunities in a domain without getting lost in speculative brainstorming.</p> <p>What this resource helps you do: run a compact, evidence-led research project that combines a quick data scan, process mapping, and focused stakeholder interviews to surface high-potential AI use cases you can prototype and measure.</p> <p>Who this is for: small cross-functional teams, product or operations leads, consultants running discovery sprints, and leaders who want defensible project ideas backed by observed problems and measurable impact. You do not need a data science team to start—only curiosity, basic access to people and documents, and a willingness to run a small experiment.</p> <p>How to begin: 1) Run the Stakeholder Interview form to capture real work problems; 2) Use the Process Mapping Worksheet to document where friction and handoffs occur; 3) Use the Experiment Planner to turn the best opportunity into a quick proof-of-concept. If you need a deeper evaluation of data readiness or prioritization, consult the "Data & Knowledge Readiness Audit" and "AI Opportunity Audit" in this domain.</p> <p>Ready to start? Open the stakeholder interview tool and schedule 4–6 short conversations this week.</p> </section>
