Most owners have a long list of tasks they would like to hand to AI and no way to pick one. Enter up to three processes, answer five questions each, and get a ranked list with a suggested first project. It pairs with our guide on what to automate first. If you want a second opinion, talk to Kuan AI.
How it works
- Name up to three processes you are thinking of automating.
- Enter the hours per week each one takes.
- Answer four questions: how rule-based it is, how clean the input is, what a mistake costs, and whether someone can review the output.
- Read the pick first, then the ranking and the reasons under each answer.
Scoring: hours give 1 point (under 2), 2 (2 to under 5), 3 (5 to under 10) or 4 (10 or more). The other four answers give 0, 2 or 4 points, so the maximum is 20. A process is marked WAIT if its data is messy, if it needs judgment each time, or if a mistake is costly and the output is not reviewed before it takes effect. The first READY process by score is recommended; ties go to more hours. To check whether the pick pays off, run it through the automation ROI calculator.
This is a rough filter built only on your own answers. It does not replace looking at the actual process.
Frequently asked questions
Why does a high-scoring process still get a WAIT label?
Score measures payoff and fit. WAIT flags a blocker: messy data, constant judgment, or costly mistakes with no review. Fix the blocker first, then it becomes a good candidate.
Should I automate the process that takes the most hours?
Not automatically. A big time sink with messy data or high risk often fails. A smaller, rule-based task with a human check is usually a safer first project.
What if all my processes are on hold?
Pick the top-scoring one and work on its blocker, such as standardising inputs or adding a review step. See the prioritization guide for more.
