AI Automation Opportunity Scoring Webhook for n8n

Prioritise AI automation opportunities with a deterministic 0–100 score (via webhook) in n8n

Stop guessing what to build next. This AI Automation Opportunity Scoring Webhook for n8n ingests opportunity assessments (manually or via a webhook), calculates a guarded, weighted 0–100 priority score, ranks your backlog, and returns both structured JSON and a Markdown prioritisation report.

What this workflow does

• Triggers in two ways: a manual test run with example opportunities, or a POST webhook request.
• Normalises incoming input into an array of opportunity objects and validates that the payload is parseable JSON.
• Validates each opportunity includes an opportunity name and 1–5 scores for: business value, frequency, manual effort, process clarity, data readiness, ownership, delivery effort, and risk.
• Computes value, readiness, and friction sub-scores, combines them into a weighted priority score (0–100), and applies a guardrail that forces “Foundation first” when process clarity or ownership is weak.
• Ranks and waves: sorts valid opportunities by score, assigns ranks, and recommends delivery waves.
• Produces a second list for invalid opportunities, capturing missing-field details.
• Generates a Markdown report summarising the portfolio, ranked backlog, and the scoring method—then returns the results (JSON + report) to the webhook caller.

Use cases

• Turn opportunity intake forms into an AI automation priority queue.
• Score a portfolio of candidates and plan delivery waves for an automation roadmap.
• Enforce “Foundation first” so low clarity/ownership items don’t block execution.
