SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders waste hours on manual work that a system or another person should own, and often buy tools or outsource the wrong steps. This Skill decides the right disposition for each step of a mapped process so effort goes where it pays off. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Per-Step Disposition Routing: Scores each process step on volume, judgment, rule-based fit, customer value, and core-competency status, then routes it to automate, document, delegate, outsource, keep manual, or eliminate. - ROI and Payback Gating: Computes automation ROI, annual manual cost, and payback period so spending recommendations require positive returns before any tool purchase is proposed. - Core-Competency Protection: Locks out outsourcing for steps that are the source of competitive advantage and flags compliance constraints for sensitive or regulated data. - Use Case: A solo consultant maps a six-step client-delivery process; the Skill recommends automating scheduling and invoicing, documenting follow-up notes, outsourcing bookkeeping, and keeping the core discovery workshop manual, with a sequenced plan and founder-time-released estimate. ## Quick Start Analyze my client-delivery process steps and tell me which ones to automate, delegate, or outsource.

Frequently Asked Questions about automation-triage

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide which business processes to automate?▼

Score each process step on volume, judgment level, rule-based fit, and customer value. Steps that are repetitive, rule-based, high-volume, and low-judgment are automation candidates, provided a right-fit affordable tool exists and ROI is positive with payback under roughly 12 months.

When should I outsource a task instead of automating it?▼

Outsource only steps that are non-core, low in customer-visible value, and that an external party can do better or cheaper than in-house. Never outsource a core competency or source of competitive advantage; those steps stay in-house and can only be automated or delegated.

How is automation ROI calculated for a process step?▼

Automation ROI equals annual manual cost saved minus annual tool cost, divided by annual tool cost. Annual manual cost comes from labor time multiplied by loaded labor rate and frequency; payback period is setup cost divided by annual savings.

Should I automate a process step before documenting it?▼

No. Steps that recur and rely on tribal knowledge should be documented first via an SOP, then delegated or automated. The document-before-delegate dependency ensures the step can be learned, monitored, and owned by someone else.

What are the limitations of automation triage for small businesses?▼

Triage requires the process to already be mapped into steps with volume and judgment profiles; unmapped processes need process mapping first. It also does not select specific tools or vendors, deferring that due diligence to a separate technology evaluation step.
