These use cases are starting points for diagnosis, not recommendations for your business. Whether one fits depends on your workflow, data, risks, and size — and expected benefits are hypotheses to validate, not promised results.
Complexity ratings are preliminary, qualitative judgements. No costs, ROI, or performance figures are given because they depend on each organization's baseline.
