Decide what should be automated, what should remain human, and where authority sits.

We translate a prioritized workflow into a target operating model with explicit responsibilities, permissions, approval boundaries, exceptions, provider choices, and measurements.

A bounded operating result, not a disconnected technology deliverable.

Best when: A workflow has been selected but the organization needs a safe, inspectable production design before build work begins.

  • Target operating model
  • Agentification Contracts
  • Permission structure
  • Approval boundaries
  • Exception paths
  • Provider strategy
  • Measurement framework

The result is defined before it is claimed.

The design defines the metrics that will be tested during a bounded pilot.

Measured on this engagement. Values are established during discovery, not claimed here.

  3. Approval timeApproval time: Baseline, then Pilot, then Verified.

Describe the workflow, its owners, current systems, controls, and intended outcome.
