Most AI initiatives begin with a technology decision. This framework begins with a business capability. The AI Product Framework is a structured methodology for improving business workflows through thoughtful application of AI. It begins by understanding how work gets done, identifies where AI can add value, and moves those opportunities through a deliberate process of analysis, positioning, and design. The framework is designed to operate alongside established product development practices, focusing specifically on the decisions, behaviors, and evidence required when AI is part of the solution.

Finally, the framework defines the decisions that need to be made without prescribing a single path to implementation. The depth and application of each phase adapt to the capability’s responsibilities, autonomy, risk, and operating environment.
