Every organisation already has this list.
It lives in inboxes, in meeting notes, and in the tools people already use without telling anyone. The hard part was never finding ideas. It is knowing which ones have the biggest return and which open the most risk.
- 20/200 Draft customer emails
- 20/100 Summarise meeting notes
- 20/70 Triage inbound tickets
- 20/40 Automate reporting workflows
- 20/25 Chase missing PO numbers
- 20/20 Re-key survey data to CRM
Here's what it actually is.
Every AI idea in your organisation arrives in one place. Requests from teams, and the work found in discovery sessions. Each one is classified, scored for risk and return, and checked against what has already been asked for. You open it, read the reasoning, and decide.
- Risk 1–10
- Every workflow and every tool opens risk to some degree - legal, reputational, product. Managing that risk isn't just about compliance, it lays the foundation for scaling in the AI era.
- Return 1–10
- The productivity gain of AI systems cannot be denied, but not all workflows are (re)created equal. Targeting resources towards workflows and tools that maximise impact is the secret to staying ahead.
- Keep human judgement
- Balancing risk and reward is still a human decision, that's what keeps decisions defensible. Better Vue provides the tools and information to make the right decision without replacing your knowledge and judgement.
Why this exists
I spoke to dozens of organisations that all had a variant of the same two problems. Nobody knew what workflows to improve first or what tools to onboard in what order. And there was no single source of truth for where AI was being used across the organisation.
The worksheet is how I started to solve the first issue, scoring a small batch by hand. It works, and you should use it. It is also the reason Better Vue exists - because doing it for a whole organisation, on paper, does not.
Charlie Downs, founder
The Founding Council · Twelve seats
Shape what gets built, rather than wait for it.
Better Vue launches in Q1 2027. The first twelve organisations to sign on form its Founding Council, and get three things.
-
Your implementation fee, waived.
Better Vue built around your organisation from day one, at no setup cost.
-
30% off, for as long as you stay.
Not a launch discount that runs out. It lasts as long as you do.
-
A seat at the table, every quarter.
Sit down with me and the other council members and decide what gets built next.
Twelve seats, kept small on purpose so your input has real impact. When they're gone, they're gone.
It starts with the worksheet. Once you have it, I'll follow up about the council. It's a conversation and nothing more.
