A focused engagement / Workflow Automation Audit / Sprint
Find the manual work worth automating.
Start with one useful workflow.
Review a repetitive business process, identify the best automation opportunities and define a focused next step. Where the scope is clear, an implementation sprint can turn that plan into a working workflow.

Your starting point
Workflow Automation Audit / Sprint
A defined engagement with clear deliverables and a walkthrough of the outcome.
Is this where you are?
A good fit when
the next step feels unclear.
For teams with a recurring process that consumes time, creates handoff delays or requires copying data between systems.
- 01
You can describe the manual process, but not the best way to automate it.
- 02
You need to understand integration limits before choosing a tool.
- 03
You want to prove one useful workflow before expanding automation.
What you receive
A concrete outcome. A usable next step.
An audit and an implementation sprint have different deliverables. We agree the engagement type, tool costs, timeline and scope before work begins.
Opportunity & feasibility review
An assessment of repeatability, integration options, access constraints and the value of automating the process.
Workflow specification
A proposed trigger, actions, data flow, exception handling and acceptance criteria for the agreed automation.
Audit handover or scoped build
An audit ends with recommendations and a walkthrough. If an implementation sprint is agreed, its scope defines the working workflow, testing and handover.
How the engagement works
Clarity at every stage.
- STEP 01
Walk through the real process
Show us how the work happens, including examples, repetitive steps and what goes wrong in practice.
- STEP 02
Choose the right engagement
Use an audit to resolve uncertainty, or agree an implementation sprint when the workflow and integrations are sufficiently clear.
- STEP 03
Review the outcome
Walk through the audit findings or test the agreed workflow. Document the next decisions, operating needs and ownership.

Before we get started
Your questions,
answered.
What is the difference between the audit and the sprint?
The audit maps the process and recommends an approach. The implementation sprint builds a specifically agreed workflow. We establish which engagement you need and what is included before starting.
What should we bring to the first conversation?
A description of the process, the tools involved, how often it runs and examples of the manual steps. Use redacted examples if they contain sensitive information.
Are software subscriptions included?
Any tool subscriptions, integration plans or AI usage charges are identified during scoping. They are not assumed to be included in the engagement fee.
Can sensitive decisions stay with a person?
Yes. We can design approval and review steps around the process. The level of autonomy and access is agreed with the people responsible for the workflow.
Can we automate everything at once?
We recommend choosing a focused workflow with clear boundaries first. Broader automation can be planned once the initial process, integrations and operating needs are understood.
