What is the Audit-Tested AI Use Case Triage course about?

When companies acquire or merge, AI use cases inherited from different units lack standardization. Without a structured triage process, teams waste time on low-impact projects, expose the business to regulatory risk, or duplicate efforts across silos. Decision-makers lack a clear, audit-ready method to assess what stays, scales, or stops.
