Is this task
worth automating?

Eight questions, answered honestly. You get a score, whether it's worth building, how small to start — and when the right answer is to save your money.

1. How often does this task happen?

Frequency sets the ceiling on the value

2. How long does it take each time?

Count hands-on time, not waiting

3. Can the rules be written down?

The more "it depends", the worse the fit

4. What happens if this step goes wrong?

Bigger downside → more value from alerts and review

5. Is someone responsible for it?

Nobody owns the alarms, nobody acts on them

6. How many systems are involved?

Every extra system adds permissions and failure modes

7. What do you use today?

Automation needs something structured to plug into

8. If it's worth it, is there budget?

No budget still works — start with one small piece

Answer for the current reality, not the ideal one.
