DAY 1Capture the manual baseline
Run the task manually 3–5 times. Record time spent, inputs, output format, delays, and common mistakes.
DAY 2Define the smallest AI step
DAY 3Create the review checklist
DAY 4Run a tiny test batch
Test 3–10 low-risk examples. Keep the original process available as a fallback.
DAY 5Measure real savings
Include review, corrections, exceptions, and setup time — not just generation speed.
DAY 6Fix the biggest failure mode
Tighten the input, prompt, template, or human review rule around the most common problem.
DAY 7Decide: scale, revise, hold, or stop
Planning tool only. Keep human review for high-impact, sensitive, legal, financial, hiring, security, or customer-critical decisions.
