1,120 use cases start from documents, in all 12 business functions
1,120
What you see
In the MetroMinds Library, 1,120 of the 4,980 use cases, 22.5 percent, start from documents such as contracts, invoices, certificates or scans. They appear in all 12 business functions, led by Operations and Delivery with 357 and Supply Chain and Sourcing with 140.
Why it matters
Most of these use cases are filed under other names, so a portfolio list rarely shows that several of them do the same thing. Teams end up buying the same document capability more than once, each with its own integration and audit trail.
What you can do
List every AI initiative that starts from documents, whatever its label, and link each one to a capability and a role. Group them by the steps they share, then choose one first use case as the foundation for a shared capability. The full article includes a three-year cost comparison.
