Question 1

What does the Workflow Automation Readiness Check measure?

Accepted Answer

Ten expert questions covering process definition, current state, friction, volume, exceptions, systems and integrations, data quality, ownership, business case and solution neutrality. Together they show whether a workflow is clear, stable and valuable enough to automate.

Question 2

Why does a high score not mean automation is the right answer?

Accepted Answer

A high score means the workflow is well enough understood to make a decision. The decision itself still depends on the business case, the solution direction, the requirements and the fit with a vendor. Sometimes the outcome is that a process change is cheaper than any software.

Question 3

Why is choosing a tool before the process analysis a risk?

Accepted Answer

Choosing the tool first fixes the conclusion in advance. The requirements then bend to the software instead of the other way around, and the process problem that caused the friction stays unresolved.

Question 4

Do exceptions block automation?

Accepted Answer

No. Exceptions do not have to disappear, they have to be understandable and governed by decision rules. A process in which nearly every case runs differently is one to redesign first, not to automate.

Question 5

How long does the check take?

Accepted Answer

Two to three minutes. Ten multiple-choice questions with four maturity levels each, and a short explanation of why every question matters.
