AI Conveyor App Components
This page describes how the AI operating model methodology is implemented in the AI Conveyor product.
If the operating model answers "how should the company manage AI adoption," the AI Conveyor app answers "which entities, screens, rules, and work loops are needed for this model to work every day."

Business Value
Each component should be represented in the app as part of one initiative lifecycle, not as an isolated table.
Initiatives
The core product entity is the AI initiative: a structured business need and an AI hypothesis for solving it.
Business Funnel
The business funnel manages initiative shaping and evaluation: idea, use case, value hypothesis, and product selection.
AI Products
AI products are reusable technology capabilities used to implement initiatives: LLMs, RAG, ML platforms, AI agents, agent orchestrators, code agents, and automation platforms.
Delivery Tracks
Different solution types require different delivery tracks. The app should support several delivery paths instead of forcing every initiative into one universal template.
Artifacts
Artifacts record initiative state and decisions: initiative card, use case, stage gate checklist, pilot plan, pilot report, architecture review, value report, and handover checklist.
People & Functions
The app must support different roles, permissions, responsibility areas, and queues for the AI function, business, IT, security, architecture, data, and operations.
Business Value
The final purpose is confirmed impact, not activity tracking. The app should capture expected impact, current and target metrics, actual results, owners, and scale/refine/stop/handover decisions.
Product role
AI Conveyor turns the methodology from documentation into an operating system for AI adoption management.
It connects business demand, initiative portfolio, AI product portfolio, delivery, stage gates, artifacts, decisions, risks, adjacent functions, and impact confirmation.
