Decision context
Automation screening starts with the current manual workflow and the cost of mistakes. AI should be added where classification, summarization, extraction, or routing improves the process.
Evidence to inspect
Look for trigger design, connected systems, data cleaning, prompt or model boundaries, fallback paths, logs, and maintenance notes.
Boundary and next step
Do not over-scope the role as an agent project unless the workflow truly needs multi-step reasoning or tool use.
What you still need to confirm yourself
- Confirm budget, timeline, contract terms, and legal or compliance needs outside the Resource page.
- Interview the Builder and discuss how they would handle data access, quality checks, maintenance, and handoff.
- Make the final hiring decision yourself; platform evidence is a starting point, not a substitute for judgment.
Decision criteria
Common mistakes
- Hiring only for tool familiarity.
- Ignoring what happens when the automation fails or data is messy.
