Overview
The 5-Lens Prioritization Framework is a structured approach for evaluating AI agent opportunities discovered during the Superintelligent survey. Use this tool live with stakeholders during the Decision Workshop to build consensus on which opportunities to pursue.
The Five Lenses
Each proposed agent opportunity is scored 1-3 (Low/Medium/High) across five dimensions. Click through the reference below to understand how to score each lens.
Frequency
Annual compliance review
Monthly report generation
QA validation on every project
Business Impact
Small formatting inconsistencies
Rework requiring 2-4 hours
Compliance violations, major delays
Economic Impact
Small efficiency gains
Measurable productivity gains
Major cost avoidance or revenue
Agent Suitability
Strategic client negotiations
Exception handling with escalation
Document validation against checklists
Adoption Likelihood
"That's not how we do things"
"I'd try it if it worked well"
"I'm already using ChatGPT for this"
Interactive Scoring Tool
Use this tool during live sessions to score and compare opportunities. The results auto-sort by total score.

Score opportunities to build consensus with stakeholders
Ready to Prioritize
Enter an opportunity from your Superintelligent survey and score it using the 5-lens framework.
Interpreting Results
What to do with opportunities based on their total score (5-15):
- Include in Pillar 1 workstream definition
- Scope immediately for Pillar 2 data readiness
- Feature in executive communication
- Document for future phases
- Reconsider if blockers are removed
- Potentially bundle with higher-priority work
- Acknowledge but don't resource
- Revisit only if circumstances change
- Communicate transparently to avoid "why not?" questions
Example: NorthRidge Survey Group
In the NorthRidge case study, 10 opportunities were discovered. Here's how the top 3 scored:
NorthRidge Survey Group - Top 3 Opportunities
From 10 discovered opportunities, these scored highest across all lenses
See the Survey Summary example in the Pillar 1 Methodology Guide for the full prioritization summary.
Facilitation Tips
Before the Session
- Prepare the list of discovered opportunities from the Superintelligent survey
- Have economic impact estimates ready (rough ranges are fine)
- Ensure key stakeholders are present (they own the scoring)
During the Session
- Let stakeholders score, not you. Your role is to facilitate, not judge.
- Debate is healthy. Disagreement reveals hidden assumptions.
- Capture reasoning. The "why" behind scores is as valuable as the numbers.
- Time-box each opportunity. 5-7 minutes per opportunity keeps momentum.
After the Session
- Document the final ranking and reasoning
- Share results with the broader team
- Use the output to drive Pillar 2-5 planning
