Automation Finder: Identify High-Impact Workflows in One Session
Automation opportunity discovery should take hours, not weeks. The key is a consistent question set and scoring model.
Start with business outcomes
Run Automation Finder against outcomes first:
- response time
- cycle time
- error reduction
- throughput
If an opportunity does not move one of these, it should not be in the first wave.
Capture opportunity details consistently
For each workflow, record:
- current owner
- current average time
- error or rework rate
- systems touched
- customer impact
This makes later scoring objective.
Score before building
Pass shortlisted workflows through AI Task Matcher to avoid high-risk automations too early.
Rank by value density
Value density = impact per week divided by implementation effort. This surfaces small but high-return workflows.
Validate numbers with ROI
Model top candidates in ROI Calculator before kickoff. This keeps roadmap decisions aligned with finance and operations.
A disciplined discovery pass turns automation from a trend into a repeatable operating advantage.
