Most teams start with a tool. Start with a list of the work instead.

Count the hours

Ask each team what they did ten times last week.

  • Copying between systems
  • Answering the same question
  • Chasing approvals

Price each idea

Hours saved a month, times the cost of an hour, minus what the agent costs to run.

Pick one

One agent, one job, measured every week.
