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.
