ROAI 4-Category Framework

DEFINITION

Canonical Advanta framework for measuring the return on a legal AI programme. Four independent return categories on parallel clocks: Q1 Productivity (typically 15–30%), Q2 Defensibility (typically 40–60% — the largest single category), Q3 Institutional (typically 15–25% — longest payoff), Q4 Category positioning (typically 10–20% — rewards early action). The categories are independent ledgers, not a 2D positioning matrix. Replaces the deprecated v1 'ROAI 4-Quadrant Matrix' framing with weighted quadrants.
