Opportunity assessment
Minor improvement. Small efficiency gain with limited effect on overall turnover or bottom line.
Relatively straightforward. Off-the-shelf tools handle the core task. Implementation is well-understood with good examples to follow.
Light data requirements. Uses straightforward inputs — documents, product descriptions, customer records — that are usually accessible with minimal prep.
Moderate risk. Some customer or external exposure. Errors create rework or reputational impact but are recoverable.
Light people impact. A new tool slots into an existing workflow. Minimal training needed. Most people will adapt quickly.

Things to consider
More variants only help if you have the media budget and audience size to test them properly. Generating 50 variants with a budget that can only statistically validate 5 is waste.
Brand consistency across AI-generated variants needs explicit guardrails — colour palette, typography, imagery style, and tone of voice rules must be enforced in the generation process.
AI-generated imagery for ads is increasingly detectable by consumers. Consider whether your brand benefits from or is damaged by visibly AI-generated creative.
Experiment starter: For your next paid social campaign, use AI to generate 10 headline/image variants alongside your team's 3 manual variants. Run them all as a split test with equal budget allocation and compare click-through and conversion rates.
