What we automate.

Four teams, four example workflows. Each one step by step, where the AI sits and where a person decides, and the wall we crash it into before anyone relies on it.

In every example

  1. AI stepsMarked. Fixed rules run before and after each one.
  2. Person stepsMarked. No message to your customers without a person.
  3. The wallOne of the 8 checks, shown at the step it hits.
  4. Your versionBuilt for your workflow, quoted after the review.
01 RevenueExample workflow, 7 steps

Inbound lead to the right owner.

Lead research and scoring, routing, CRM updates, follow-up drafts.

  1. 01StartA lead arrives from your form or inbox
  2. 02RuleDuplicates are dropped
  3. 03RuleThe company is looked up
  4. 04AI stepAI scores the fit against your rules

  6. 06PersonThe owner approves the follow-up draft
  7. 07ResultThe CRM is updated
02 OnboardingExample workflow, 7 steps

Documents, accounts, welcome steps and handoffs.

  1. 01StartThe deal is marked won
  2. 02RuleAccounts are created in your tools

    Crashed here

    ST3 Run twice

    The same signed deal sent twice never makes a second set of accounts.

  3. 03RuleThe document checklist goes out, with reminders until each one is in
  4. 04AI stepAI checks each document against what was asked for
  5. 05PersonAnything missing or unclear is parked for a person
  6. 06ResultThe welcome is sent from your template
  7. 07ResultA handoff note reaches the delivery owner
03 ReportingExample workflow, 6 steps

The Monday numbers, nobody copying cells.

Weekly numbers pulled, checked and sent without anyone copying cells.

  1. 01StartThe schedule fires on Monday morning
  2. 02RuleNumbers are pulled from each source

    Crashed here

    ST6 Failure alert

    One source goes down and a named person is told exactly which step failed.

  3. 03RuleTotals are checked against fixed rules and last week
  4. 04PersonAnything that looks wrong is flagged to the report owner, not sent
  5. 05AI stepAI drafts the summary lines from the checked numbers
  6. 06ResultThe report goes to the team
04 OperationsExample workflow, 6 steps

Approvals that do not wait in an inbox.

Approvals, reconciliation, alerts and handoffs between tools.

  1. 01StartA request arrives: a refund, an expense, an access change
  2. 02RuleIt is checked against your fixed rules
  3. 03RuleInside the rules, it is approved and logged
  4. 04PersonOutside them, it goes to the approver with the context attached

    Crashed here

    ST7 Human sign-off

    Nothing touches money without a person, unless a fixed rule allows it.

  5. 05RuleRecords are reconciled between your tools
  6. 06ResultMismatches raise an alert to a named owner
05 Every systemST3 to ST6

Under all four: the part a platform team would own.

Retries, parked failures, replay-safe runs, a failure alert and spend limits come with every system, whatever the team. Large companies keep a platform team for this.
