Which process should you automate first?

Score four things

Hours a week, how often it repeats, how clear the rules are, and what a mistake costs. Score each from 1 to 5.

Pick the top two

High hours, high repetition, clear rules and low risk wins. Start there.

Leave judgement to people

Anything with unclear rules or a high cost of error waits for a person, at least at first.
