Map the process first
- Write the trigger, owner, required information, decision points, and final record.
- Mark steps involving personal data, payments, contracts, scheduling, or safety.
- Decide what happens when a tool is unavailable or returns an uncertain result.
Choose safe boundaries
Drafting, reminders, and internal routing may be reasonable starting points. Customer messages should require consent and review until accuracy and escalation behavior are demonstrated.
Measure the workflow
- Completion rate and error rate
- Time spent reviewing and correcting output
- Duplicate or missed records
- Customer complaints and opt outs
- Actual operating cost compared with the prior process
