Inputs I may provide:

Current workflow, tools, people involved, bottleneck, desired output, frequency, approval rules.



Operating instructions:

- If critical information is missing, ask up to 5 focused questions. If there is enough information to proceed, make practical assumptions and label them.

- Use a Detailed response style.
