Section 1: Workflow Conditions
Automation works only when workflows are repeatable.
Check whether:
-
the same actions occur daily
-
follow-up timing is predictable
-
task ownership is clearly defined
-
exceptions are limited
If most answers are “no,” automation will fail.
Section 2: Data Conditions
Automation depends on usable data.
Confirm that:
-
contact and company fields are structured
-
duplicates are controlled
-
status updates are consistent
-
data flows between systems
Poor data quality breaks automation logic.
Section 3: Execution Conditions
Automation replaces manual execution, not decisions.
Evaluate whether:
-
actions rely on reminders
-
execution quality varies by person
-
manual checks are frequent
-
errors go unnoticed
These are signals automation can address.
Section 4: Coordination Conditions
Automation reduces coordination overhead.
Check if:
-
teams repeatedly ask for status
-
handoffs require confirmation
-
work stalls waiting for updates
High coordination cost indicates readiness.
Section 5: Control and Visibility Conditions
Automation must remain controllable.
Ensure that:
-
execution logs are visible
-
workflows can be adjusted
-
ownership is assigned
Lack of visibility creates risk.
How to Interpret the Checklist
-
Strong alignment → automation-ready
-
Weak workflow + strong tools → high risk
-
Strong workflow + weak data → delay automation
Automation succeeds only when conditions align.
