Where this fits

This topic is for Canadian operators who want practical automation without turning the business into a risky experiment. The goal is to identify narrow workflows that save time, improve consistency, and remain understandable to staff.

What to automate first

Start with repetitive intake, follow-up, research, drafting, reminder, and documentation tasks. Avoid high-risk decisions until the workflow has clear inputs, review points, and accountability.
