How this assessment works

This is a rules-based first pass using your answers, not a technical audit or implementation quote. Weekly volumes use 52 ÷ 12 weeks per month. Time-saving scenarios are assumptions you control, not forecasts.

Consistent digital inputs and repeatable rules favour investigation. Unclear processes favour simplification. Judgement, sensitive data or uncertainty require human review. Less than two hours per month is our low-volume screening threshold, not an industry benchmark. Error reduction or other benefits may still justify a closer look.
