Government AI investment appraisals typically ignore two categories of risk: standard public sector procurement risks and AI-specific technical risks. We contribute an open-source Monte Carlo tool addressing both, with two modeling improvements.
Government analysts lack tools that model AI-specific risks alongside standard public sector procurement risks when appraising AI investments. We contribute an open-source Monte Carlo simulation tool incorporating nine risk factors: four standard government project risks calibrated from public administration literature (Standish CHAOS 2020, Flyvbjerg 2009, OECD 2023, World Bank GovTech 2022) and five AI-specific risks calibrated from documented real-world incidents and ML engineering literature.
Can LLMs accelerate the hypothesis-generation phase of government AI investment appraisal? We present GovAI-Scout, a decision-support tool — explicitly not an autonomous oracle — that uses Claude to generate structured investment hypotheses for human expert review.
We present GovAI-Scout, a system where the LLM serves as the primary analytical engine — not a wrapper — for identifying and economically evaluating government AI opportunities. Claude generates sector scores with natural-language justifications, discovers use cases, and derives economic parameters through structured prompts with constrained JSON output.
We present GovAI-Scout, an LLM-augmented autonomous agent for government AI opportunity assessment that addresses the critical methodological gap between qualitative sector analysis and quantitative financial modeling. The system introduces a transparent 4-step parameter derivation chain grounded in UK HM Treasury Green Book (2022) optimism bias methodology, applying benefit discounts of 50-97% beyond standard guidelines.

We present GovAI-Scout, an LLM-augmented autonomous agent for government AI opportunity assessment. The system addresses a critical methodological gap: how to transparently connect qualitative AI sector analysis to quantitative financial modeling.
We present GovAI-Scout, an LLM-augmented autonomous agent that identifies, evaluates, and economically models high-impact AI deployment opportunities in government entities. The system combines a Claude-based reasoning layer for sector analysis and use case discovery with a structured econometric engine featuring government-realistic failure modes: procurement delays (6-24 months), cost overruns (45% probability per Standish CHAOS), political defunding risk (3-5% annual), and adoption ceilings (75-82%).
