Automation opportunity finder

Describe a piece of repetitive work — how often it happens, how long it takes, how many people touch it, how often it goes wrong — and see where it lands: automate it, simplify it first, or leave it alone. Automating a broken process makes it fail faster, so the tool will tell you when the process is the problem.

Add a piece of repetitive work

Three examples are loaded to start with. Change them, delete them, or add something from your own week.

What the list says

Ranked by what it costs you, not by what is easiest

About 324 hours a year across 3 items, of which roughly 144 look automatable on these answers.

The rest are not a failure of the tool. Some are too cheap to be worth changing, and some need the process fixed before anything is automated — automating a process that is not understood makes it fail faster and more quietly.

  • Chasing approvals by email

    180 h/yrConnect the systems instead

    Several people touching the same work usually means information is being carried between systems by hand. Connecting them removes the carrying, which is a different job from automating the task.

  • Re-typing order details into the accounting system

    72 h/yrAutomate it

    Repetitive, rule-based and frequent enough to repay the work. This is what automation is for.

  • Producing the monthly report

    72 h/yrAutomate it

    Repetitive, rule-based and frequent enough to repay the work. This is what automation is for.

These hours come from your own estimates, so treat them as the order of magnitude rather than a measurement. The point of the list is which items sit at the top, not what the total says.

What you are doing

Add the repetitive work in your week. The tool ranks it by what it costs you against what it would take to fix, and is explicit about which ones are not worth touching.

This is a demonstration. The real thing is built for you.
