The short answer
Avoid immediate full automation of high-risk approvals, payments or unclear responsibilities. Evaluate your process rather than others' adoption.
Try it in three steps
- List five repeated tasks.
- Compare frequency, consequences and review difficulty.
- Select one limited read-only pilot.
A practice prompt
Before you start
Prioritize pilot tasks without making high-impact business decisions.
Practice material (fictional)
Candidates: organize personal meeting notes, automatically pay suppliers, or a one-off annual statistic.Replace placeholders in the prompt with this material, or append the material if there are no placeholders. Reading time excludes doing the exercise.
Classify tasks as assist first, require approval or not ready, with reasons and unknowns rather than invented benefit scores.What to look for (not a recorded test result)
Try note assistance first, require separate payment approval, and compare manual handling for rare statistics. Consider risk and review effort as well as frequency.
If it goes wrong
For rare tasks, compare simple standardization before adding maintenance-heavy automation.
Check your result
The choice explains potential value and how errors are handled.
