AI business cases you can check before you fund them.

Every AI proposal comes with a number. MetroMinds shows where that number comes from: the baseline, the benchmark range, and the scope, adoption and confidence factors behind it. Try it on one process of your own.

What finance needs to see

“Where does this number come from?”

Each business case in MetroMinds starts from annual volume and baseline minutes, applies a benchmark range from the Library and then corrects for scope, adoption and confidence. Every assumption is visible and can be challenged.

“Are we counting the same savings twice?”

When several use cases target the same work, their savings overlap. MetroMinds shows overlap per business capability and proposes correction weights, so the portfolio total stays defensible.

“Which of these should we fund first?”

A large business case is not the same as a good investment. The value and feasibility matrix shows what can scale now, what is a strategic bet and what should be parked.

The portfolio business case, line by line

Portfolio benefits in MetroMinds, from the totals for accepted use cases, low, high and organisation benefit down to the first use cases with their value driver and organisation benefit

  1. Low, high and organisation value.

    Each accepted use case shows a range and the value for your organisation, based on your own inputs.

  2. One value driver per benefit.

    Handling time, review time and rework are kept apart, so one saved minute is counted once.

  3. Portfolio total.

    The sum is corrected for overlap between use cases on the same capability.
