Could AI take the admin off your team's plate?

Start with one job that eats time every week, such as quoting, chasing suppliers or updating customers. Twelve quick statements show whether that job is ready to hand to an AI tool on a small trial, and what's in the way if it isn't.

About three minutes. Your score, and an action plan in order of what to fix first, appear as soon as you finish.

Problem

01 We can name one specific, repetitive task that costs us real time every week.
02 We know roughly how long that task takes today, and how often it goes wrong.
03 Our senior team is engaged in the process and will make time for the pilot each week.

Data

04 The information the task needs lives somewhere we can get at: the ERP, a shared drive or a mailbox.
05 That information is mostly up to date (lead times, prices, stock, open orders).
06 We know which data belongs to customers and is covered by an NDA or export control.

People

07 The people who do the task today are involved and willing to try it.
08 We have named one owner for the pilot and one person who checks the outputs.
09 Staff know which AI tools are approved, and which are not.

Guardrails

10 We have a written rule on what the agent may and may not do (for example: draft, never send).
11 We've made sure no agent can commit spend, change master data or make a promise to a customer.
12 We've decided where every agent output will be logged, so the work stays traceable for audit.
