AI project sizing method prioritizes business outcomes over models

A new methodology for sizing AI/ML projects focuses on business outcomes rather than solely on model development. This approach emphasizes starting with key business KPIs and working backward to define actionable outcomes that models will support. The method then maps data flows and model dependencies, categorizing them by operational cadence (real-time, daily, etc.) to create a more realistic and repeatable estimation process. AI

IMPACT Provides a structured approach to estimating AI/ML project costs and timelines, potentially improving project success rates.
