Start with repetition
Count how many times the process runs, how many people touch it and how long each repetition takes.
Add the cost of delay
Some automation value comes from faster response, fewer missed leads and faster collections rather than payroll hours alone.
Keep human approval where it matters
Removing all humans is not the goal. The goal is to automate repeatable work while keeping judgment at the points where mistakes are expensive.
