Module 1: Opportunity Discovery

🧱 Module Purpose

To guide users through a structured, research-backed process to identify, score, and prioritize AI-suitable opportunities based on business value, technical feasibility, and alignment with agentic design patterns.

🔍 Sub-Components & Templates

1. Personal Problem Inventory Worksheet

A structured exercise that prompts users to identify pain points from experience:

  • Repetitive Tasks
  • Information Bottlenecks
  • Decision Support Gaps
  • Communication Inefficiencies

Adapted from: “Daily frustrations” inventory + AI Opportunity Pattern Recognition

2. AI Opportunity Pattern Recognition

Teach users to match problems with common AI leverage points:

  • Information synthesis from diverse sources
  • Personalization
  • Always-on support
  • Scaling high-volume requests
  • Low-latency decision support

Based on the "pattern matching" archetypes from Perplexity + Gemini

3. Industry Research Templates

  • Competitor AI Landscape Scan
  • Industry Pain Point Matrix
  • Tech-Enabled Solution Tracker (emerging LLM/agent capabilities)

Recommended tools: Miro, Lucidchart

4. Competitive Intelligence Templates

  • AI Differentiator Grid: What sets your potential agent apart?
  • Existing Alternatives Analysis (Google, ProductHunt, etc.)

5. AI Agent Use Case Archetypes

Inspiration library of validated agent use cases:

  • Knowledge Agents (e.g., RFP drafting)
  • Procurement Agents (invoice comparison)
  • Support Agents (FAQ resolution)
  • Research Agents (summarization + alerting)

6. Business Opportunity Validation Frameworks

  • Harvard 5-Step Opportunity Validation
  • Lean Market Validation Framework
  • 7-Day Rapid Validation Prep Worksheet (linked to Module 3)

7. ROI Pre-Assessment Tools

📈 Success Metrics

  • Stakeholder Alignment Score (via survey or matrix)
  • Business Case Completion Rate
  • Time-to-First-Prototype Metric
  • Opportunity Shortlist Quality Score (validation rating from Module 3)

🛠 Tool & Integration Suggestions

  • Visual Mapping: Miro / Lucidchart
  • Documentation: Notion or Coda for worksheets
  • ROI Calculator: Google Sheets or Almbok AI ROI template
  • Integration Links: to Module 2 (Selection), Module 3 (Validation)

📦 Reusable Templates Included

  • Problem Inventory Worksheet
  • Feasibility Scoring Rubric (early integration with Module 2)
  • Build-vs-Buy Decision Matrix
  • Industry Pain Point Tracker
  • Agent Use Case Archetypes Library
