Workflow triage with some dignity

Should I Automate This?

Score a repetitive task based on frequency, time drain, handoffs, cleanup cost, and how badly it nukes your focus. The goal is not maximum automation. The goal is less nonsense.

How to use this

Estimate the repetitive part only. Ignore the high-judgment thinking. If the score is high, the task probably wants a workflow, not another heroic human.

Rate The Repetition

Use rough numbers. This tool is for finding leverage, not pretending the spreadsheet is your boss.

How often this nonsense comes back
Only count the repetitive portion
Slack ping, email, approval, status update, repeat
Cleanup cost in money, rework, or preventable damage
0 = chill, 10 = absolute brain leakage
