Case files on applied AI

Balanced, plain-English walk-throughs of how artificial intelligence is applied in education, business, finance and the creative industries: the problem, the approach, the risks and the lessons.

For
Teachers, students, leaders and curious professionals
Format
Structured case files with discussion questions
Honesty
Illustrative patterns, clearly labelled, never invented clients
I.

Our method

Every case file follows the same honest structure so readers can compare them and judge for themselves. We say what was tried, including what didn't work; we state results carefully and only where evidenced; and we always include the risks.

Problem

The challenge in plain language.

Approach

What was tried, and why.

Evidence

Results, stated carefully.

Risks

Ethics, privacy and failure modes.

Discussion

Questions for classrooms and teams.

The case files

The scenarios below are illustrative, written to show common patterns. Published, evidenced case studies will be added as they are completed.

Sector
Education
Reducing teacher admin
Challenge. Teachers spend a lot of time on routine planning and paperwork.Approach. AI drafts lesson outlines, differentiated worksheets and letters, which a teacher reviews and edits.What we learn. The teacher stays in charge. AI produces a first draft and never makes the final judgement.Discuss. Which tasks should never be delegated to AI in a school, and why?
Education
Feedback at scale
Challenge. Detailed written feedback on every draft is hard with large classes.Approach. AI suggests feedback against a rubric; the teacher checks, edits and personalises it.What we learn. Clear criteria matter more than the tool, and pupils should know when AI has been involved.Discuss. How would you explain AI-assisted feedback to a parent?
Business
Support triage
Challenge. A small team receives many repetitive enquiries.Approach. AI sorts and summarises messages and drafts replies for a person to approve before sending.What we learn. Start with “summarise and draft”, and only automate further once quality is proven.Discuss. Where is the line between helpful automation and a frustrating customer experience?
Finance
Document review
Challenge. Long contracts and reports are slow to read and compare.Approach. Language models extract key terms and flag unusual clauses for a specialist to verify.What we learn. AI speeds up reading but needs human checking, because its errors can sound confident.Discuss. Who is accountable when an AI-assisted review misses something?
Creative
Storyboarding
Challenge. Turning a script into a storyboard takes many drafts.Approach. Image tools generate rough concepts quickly; artists develop the final artwork by hand.What we learn. AI can be a sketching aid. Originality, consistency and rights still need human care.Discuss. What makes a piece of art “yours” when AI was involved?
Public good
Accessibility
Challenge. Learning materials aren't always accessible to every learner.Approach. AI generates captions, simplified summaries and translations, which are checked for accuracy.What we learn. Small, well-checked uses can make a real difference to inclusion.Discuss. What could go wrong if AI translations aren't checked?
III.

In the classroom

Case files double as teaching material for computing, business studies, PSHE and careers lessons. Each comes with discussion prompts suitable for sixth form and above, and a simplified version for younger pupils.

Computing

How systems are designed, tested and evaluated.

KS4–KS5
Business

Costs, benefits and change management.

KS4–KS5
PSHE / citizenship

Ethics, fairness and accountability.

KS3–KS5
IV.

Section 2

Intervention

Tools, data and process, including the human checks.

Section 3

Outcome

What changed, how we know, and what's still uncertain.
