Prioritize Automation Candidates — Simple, Practical Heuristics. Not every repetitive task should be automated. Use a short, transparent framework to compare candidates: estimate impact, effort, and risk, then classify each candidate so you can choose sensible pilots. The three scores. Impact — how much time, cost, or...
Safe Automation Checklist — Prevent Fragile, Expensive Automations. Use this checklist before building a prototype and again before wider rollout. Treat each item as essential to preventing common mal-hungers such as bypassing human checks, creating brittle systems, or imposing ongoing maintenance burdens. Define...
Prototype Playbook — From Idea to Measured Pilot. Prototyping is where the promise of automation meets reality. A well-designed prototype reduces uncertainty quickly, informs decision-makers, and prevents expensive rework. This playbook walks you through a practical, low-risk prototype approach suitable for teams...
Composite Case Study — Automating a Small Accounting Team's Invoice Entry (Anonymized). This is a composite example that represents common patterns observed in small-team automation pilots. Context. A three-person accounting team spent significant time copying invoice fields from vendor PDFs into the accounting...
