The review began
with a search.
Finding information and preparing a large workload consumed substantial manual effort.

Less friction.
Something to show for it.
Real workflows, practical changes and clear limits on what the results tell us.
01 / Operational review

The review began
Bring the analysis
to the reviewer.
Built using tools the team already had licences for, a parsing system assembled the workload into information a reviewer could examine.
Examine.
Question. Decide.
Operational reviewers still examined the prepared analysis and made the accountable decision.
Explore the workflow before and after
Before
Preparing hundreds of work orders took approximately 35 hours before the review could begin.
- 01

The system processes the work orders.
- 02
Assemble the analysis
Information is prepared for the operational reviewer.

Review and decide
The reviewer examines, questions and decides. Preparation time is not total decision time.
These approximate figures describe preparation time, not total decision time or removal of human review.
02 / Automation
Reporting and
operational workflows.
The same preparation was returning to the working day, again and again. Automating the recurring steps returned capacity to the team.
450+ hours
Returned annually through reporting and operational workflow automation.
Measure the work removed.
Then plan what comes next.
This result measures time returned. It does not imply that a consequential decision was automated, or claim how the team later used that time.
Only the approved annual time outcome is published. Client identity and further workflow detail remain confidential.
