Choosing What to Automate First
Not every process deserves a system. A short scoring exercise surfaces the best starting points.
Favor frequent and rule-based
Tasks that repeat daily and follow clear rules pay back fastest and carry the lowest risk.
Avoid judgment-heavy work at first
Save anything needing nuanced human calls for later, once trust has been built.
Start where people will notice
An early win that eases a daily annoyance earns goodwill for everything that follows.
