The Work

Three more governed workflows, one pattern.

On the home page, an accounts-payable exception. The same seven states and four guards govern every workflow we build: rules clear the routine, the model drafts the exception, a named owner decides, and every action is logged. Three more, from the departments that run on hand-offs.

Worked example: Sales, Support and CRM

Every inbound customer email, synced or drafted, never sent without an owner.

A prospect or customer email arrives that needs a CRM update, pricing or an order change (Salesforce, HubSpot or Oracle CX).

01 / RULES FIRSTDetected

The inbox webhook matches the CRM contact.

02Evaluated

Rules check deal stage, SLA tier and pricing: routine update or standard FAQ?

03Auto-cleared

Activity, sentiment and stage synced, a logged rule decision.

04 / MODEL SECONDClassified

Draft required: the model drafts a reply from approved playbooks.

05 / PEOPLE DECIDEOwner review

The account owner approves or escalates.

06Posted

Committed to the CRM; approved replies sent.

07Closed

Reassigned with a reason code. A final state.

G1 standard syncG2 draft requiredG3 approvedG4 escalated

CRM hygiene runs continuously, while people control every outbound commercial commitment.

Worked example: People and HRMS

Routine onboarding runs without delay. Pay and compliance need a named sign-off.

An offer packet or role change is triggered in the HRMS (Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Oracle HCM).

01 / RULES FIRSTDetected

The HRMS flags an offer or transfer.

02Evaluated

Position, budget and statutory checks via API: within band and compliance verified?

03Auto-cleared

Provisioning and payroll set-up, a logged rule decision.

04 / MODEL SECONDClassified

The model flags variance, missing proof or a pay delta.

05 / PEOPLE DECIDEOwner review

The HR owner approves or returns.

06Posted

Committed to the HRMS, logged.

07Closed

Returned with a reason code. A final state.

G1 within policyG2 policy exceptionG3 approvedG4 returned

No offer is released and no pay change is posted without a logged decision.

Worked example: the reporting layer

Numbers are calculated by rules. The model only drafts commentary on verified variances.

Reconciling revenue, headcount cost and pipeline across ERP, HRMS and CRM for the monthly management pack.

01 / RULES FIRSTDetected

The close job extracts ERP, HRMS and CRM data.

02Evaluated

Rules cross-check totals and budget deltas: within the materiality threshold?

03Auto-cleared

Standard tables populated, a logged rule decision.

04 / MODEL SECONDClassified

The model traces causes and drafts cited commentary.

05 / PEOPLE DECIDEOwner review

The FP&A owner releases or holds.

06Posted

Published to the BI warehouse, logged.

07Closed

The sub-ledger is reopened. A final state.

G1 within thresholdG2 material varianceG3 releasedG4 held

Every number is calculated by rules. The model only drafts commentary on variances the rules have already verified.

Service lines

Six service lines turn the Blueprint into running automation.

Every engagement starts with the Blueprint. Each line runs on the same controls: rules first, named approval, full audit trail.

01Process automation

Agents move work across ERP, CRM, HRMS, ITSM and SCM, with named approval on every irreversible step.

02Document intelligence

Reads invoices, customer orders, contracts and candidate packs, and posts validated data to the system of record.

03Private knowledge assistants

Answers staff and customer questions from your policies, playbooks and contracts, citing the source, inside your environment.

04Reporting and decision support

Assembles management packs and answers plain-English questions over your reporting data.

05Integration and modernisation

Replaces spreadsheet re-keying with governed APIs, and supports platform moves such as Oracle EBS to Fusion.

06AI governance and security

Control frameworks, audit trails, private model deployment and encryption, built for audit and security review.

One governance model across every line, so each new build adds capability, not risk. Run and enablement are priced alongside each build.

How an engagement runs

A fixed-fee Blueprint precedes every build, with a formal go or no-go gate.

  • 2 weeks
    Automation Blueprint. $5,000 fixed. Roadmap and prices in writing. An exit option at the close.
  • 6 to 16
    Build weeks. On a go decision only. Duration and price fixed at the Blueprint.
  • Optional
    Run. A managed service, or enablement and handover to your team.

The Blueprint's four workstreams:

  1. Discovery. Short interviews with the people who run each process, and a named owner agreed for each priority.
  2. Opportunity scoring. Each process scored for value, feasibility and risk, and checked against what you already license.
  3. Cost baseline. Measured effort, error rates, rework and unused licences for the top five opportunities.
  4. Roadmap and prices. A 90-day start plan, a fixed price per build or a self-build playbook, then your go or no-go decision.
