AI Automation Investment Review Framework for Finance Teams

Finance teams need a repeatable process to evaluate AI proposals beyond high-level ROI claims. This framework structures assumptions, risk checks, and approval checkpoints.

Implementation Steps

  1. Validate baseline assumptions for labor, tooling, and implementation costs with documented evidence.
  2. Stress-test upside and downside scenarios before approving budget release.
  3. Require one owner per risk control and one trigger for re-approval review.
  4. Run monthly post-approval checks to compare actual outcomes versus memo assumptions.
