The short answer
Record who does it, where effort goes and common errors. Understand the problem before choosing tools, process changes or software.
Try it in three steps
- Observe a worker's actual process before recommending products.
- Separate repetition from necessary judgment.
- Choose a low-risk step for a pilot.
A practice prompt
Before you start
Map a fictional process without inventing timings.
Practice material (fictional)
The same receipt quantity is copied into three sheets and reconciled at month-end; daily effort is unknown.Replace placeholders in the prompt with this material, or append the material if there are no placeholders. Reading time excludes doing the exercise.
Help map a repeated task by asking about the current process, time-consuming steps and checks before recommending tools.What to look for (not a recorded test result)
Investigate repeated entry and handoffs, then measure effort; do not begin with automation purchases or unsupported labor-saving claims.
If it goes wrong
If the process is unclear, observe it rather than asking AI to invent one.
Check your result
You can state the specific action the pilot aims to improve.
