AI use-case compendium

The hardest part of AI is knowing what to use it for

Most organisations are not held back by the technology. They are held back by the imagination gap. In the government’s own research, 71% of non-adopters say they have not identified a use for AI in their organisation, and just 7% of AI-using firms use agentic AI. This compendium is our answer: a scored library we are building in the open, adding each use case as it clears our evidence bar, every entry grounded in delivered work or independent sources.
