Which workflow should you automate first?

Most automation programs stall by starting with the wrong workflow — too many exceptions, the wrong system of record, or a late constraint. Seven questions identify where to start and what to examine in a Workflow Opportunity Map.

Your answers are evaluated in your browser and are not transmitted. The recommendation is an input to a Workflow Opportunity Map — not a scoped proposal.

How to read your result

An honest routing, deliberately

What it is

A self-guided way to identify whether your situation calls for a diagnostic first, which bounded workflow deserves attention, and what to bring into a Workflow Opportunity Map. It names the answers that drove the route so the logic is transparent.

What it is not

Not a scoped proposal, a price, or a commitment. It cannot see your exception rates, your integration surface, or what your compliance team will actually approve — the three things that most often re-order the “obvious” starting workflow. Scoping happens in the engagement, against reality.

FAQ

About this tool

Where do my answers go?

Nowhere. The finder evaluates your answers locally in your browser. To request a Workflow Opportunity Map, use the intake form on the contact page. The Site does not transmit your answers; do not send regulated data through the intake form.

How does the routing work?

Three signals shape the recommendation: workflow clarity, system clarity, and measurable operating cost. Every result routes through the Workflow Opportunity Map before any build decision. Regulated-data answers identify constraints to examine in that map; they do not create a separate path.

Why not just show me everything you can automate?

Because a menu is not a recommendation. The catalog of workflow patterns we maintain is a discovery instrument, not a storefront — what matters is which single workflow reaches production first in your environment, under your constraints. Sequencing is most of the value; a list would hide it.

What happens after the recommendation?

Use the result as an input to a Workflow Opportunity Map. The map examines the workflow, systems, data boundaries, decision rights, and success measure before any later engagement is proposed. There is no automated follow-up sequence.

Next step

Turn the routing into a plan

Bring the workflow this tool surfaced — or the one it ruled out — into a Workflow Opportunity Map. The map determines whether it is the right first workflow and defines the operating, evidence, and measurement requirements that would govern any later work.
