adamships The Workflow Audit · No. 01

Find the work a computer should be doing. Not you.

A one page checklist. Fifteen minutes with a pen. It shows you the two or three jobs in your business worth handing to AI first, and the ones to leave well alone.

01
List it

Write down your repeating work.

Every task you or your team do more than once a week. Be specific. Reply to enquiries. Build the weekly report. Chase invoices. Onboard a new client. Get it all on one page before you judge any of it.

02
Score it

Give each one three numbers, 1 to 3.

Frequency
1 weekly  ·  3 many times a day
Time
1 a few minutes  ·  3 an hour or more
Rules
1 needs judgement  ·  3 the same steps every time

Add the three together. Anything scoring 7 or more is a strong candidate to automate.

03
Compare it

The five usual suspects.

Most small businesses can automate these within a month. If your high scorers look like one of them, you are on the right track.

  1. Turning enquiries into tagged, routed leads.
  2. The handful of emails you rewrite every week.
  3. Turning a week of data into a report.
  4. Answering the questions your inbox gets every day.
  5. Booking calls without the back and forth.
04
Start it

Automate the top one first.

Take your highest score and do that one. Get it working and trusted before you touch the next. One workflow, set up once, beats ten half finished ones. Do not try to automate everything at once.

05
When to call

When it is worth bringing someone in.

If your top task touches money, customers, or three or more tools, it is worth setting up properly the first time. That is what a Workflow Audit is. I map your work, find the highest leverage automations, and build the first one. Fixed price, and you only ever talk to me.
