Start with the business problem

Choose opportunities using evidence, not enthusiasm.

AI workflow automation connects triggers, business rules, systems and approvals so work moves reliably between people and platforms. This Australian-focused audit determines where automation could create useful capacity, which ideas need more work and which processes should remain human-led. For broader implementation guidance, see our AI business process automation service.

Too many possibilities

Your team can see several automation opportunities but does not know which one has the strongest business case.

Unclear value

The time, volume, rework and delays in the current process have not been measured.

Tool-first decisions

A platform or AI feature has been selected before the workflow, ownership and risks are understood.

Messy processes

The current workflow changes between people, relies on incomplete data or contains unclear exceptions.

Integration uncertainty

The required systems, connectors, permissions and licences have not been confirmed.

No implementation sequence

Ideas are competing for budget without an agreed roadmap or first project.

Questions the audit answers

Know what to automate, why and in what order.

Which process comes first?

Compare opportunities using value, feasibility, risk and implementation effort.

How much effort is consumed?

Estimate current volumes, handling time, delays and avoidable rework.

Which systems are involved?

Identify data sources, destinations, connectors, accounts and ownership.

Does the process need AI?

Separate rules-based steps from tasks that may benefit from classification, extraction or drafting.

Where is human approval needed?

Retain judgement and authority for sensitive, financial or high-impact decisions.

What needs fixing first?

Identify unstable processes, poor data, missing ownership or security concerns.

What will implementation require?

Outline likely licensing, permissions, testing, exception handling and change needs.

What should stay human-led?

Avoid automating work where risk, variability or low volume weakens the business case.

Audit scope

A structured discovery engagement with defined outputs.

The number of workflows and stakeholders included is confirmed before work begins.

Business questionnaire

Capture operational concerns, systems, priorities and possible automation ideas.

Stakeholder discovery workshop

Discuss current work, exceptions, ownership, pain points and desired outcomes.

Current-process mapping

Document triggers, steps, handoffs, decisions, data and common exceptions.

Time and volume baseline

Estimate task frequency, handling time, delays and rework using available information.

Systems and connector review

Identify relevant platforms, licences, permissions and integration dependencies.

Security and data considerations

Record access, confidentiality, approval and data-movement concerns for discovery.

Opportunity scoring

Compare workflows using a consistent value, feasibility and risk framework.

Roadmap and findings presentation

Receive prioritised recommendations and discuss implementation options.

What you receive

A roadmap that another provider can also use.

You are not required to purchase implementation from CyberCrunch.

Current-state workflow maps

A practical view of the agreed processes and their dependencies.

Opportunity register

A documented list of automation ideas considered during the engagement.

Time-saving estimates

Indicative capacity estimates based on the available volume and effort assumptions.

Complexity and risk ratings

Relative assessment of implementation difficulty, dependencies and concerns.

Recommended approach

Rules-based automation, AI assistance, human approval or process improvement.

Prioritised implementation roadmap

An ordered path from quick wins to more complex opportunities.

Licensing and integration considerations

Known platform, connector and permission items that may affect delivery.

First-workflow proposal option

A separate fixed-scope implementation proposal can be prepared if requested.

Findings presentation

A guided discussion of the scores, assumptions, risks and recommended next steps.

Opportunity scoring

Compare value with feasibility and risk.

Each candidate workflow is considered using a consistent set of factors.

FQ

Frequency

How often the task or process occurs.

TM

Manual time

The current effort consumed per task and each month.

ER

Error and rework

The frequency and impact of avoidable corrections.

IM

Business impact

The effect on staff, customers, revenue or service delivery.

DQ

Data quality

Whether the required information is consistent and usable.

PC

Process consistency

Whether people follow stable steps with understood exceptions.

CX

Integration complexity

The systems, connectors, licences and permissions involved.

RS

Risk and maintenance

Security, sensitivity, exception handling and ongoing ownership needs.

Three possible recommendations

The right answer is not always “automate it.”

Automate now

The process is stable, repetitive, sufficiently valuable and practical to implement.

Improve before automating

Process ownership, data quality, consistency or controls need attention first.

Keep human-led

Judgement, sensitivity, low volume or exception complexity weakens the case for automation.

Value estimation

Use transparent assumptions.

Monthly hours saved = tasks per month × minutes saved per task ÷ 60

The audit also considers rework, response delays, implementation cost, licensing, maintenance effort, risk and process complexity.

Time-saving and value estimates are indicative, not guarantees. Actual results depend on process volume, data quality, adoption, system availability and implementation choices.

Engagement process

From business questionnaire to prioritised roadmap.

1

Questionnaire

Share operational concerns, systems and possible automation opportunities.

2

Confirm scope

Agree the workflows, stakeholders, deliverables, timeline and fixed price.

3

Discover

Run the workshop and map current effort, systems, handoffs and exceptions.

4

Score

Compare candidate workflows using the agreed opportunity framework.

5

Prioritise

Build an ordered roadmap based on value, feasibility, risk and dependency.

6

Present

Review findings, assumptions and implementation choices with stakeholders.

Pricing and boundaries

Starting from $995, with scope confirmed first.

The starting audit is designed for a small number of clearly identified workflows. Larger organisations, additional stakeholders or broader process portfolios require a larger fixed quote.

Your proposal confirms:

  • Workflows and stakeholders included
  • Workshop format and required inputs
  • Baseline information and assumptions
  • Deliverables and findings presentation
  • Expected schedule
  • The fixed price for the agreed scope
The audit does not automatically include workflow development, licence fees, custom software, historical data cleansing, legal advice, production access, deployment, guaranteed savings or ongoing monitoring.

Who it’s for

Useful when the opportunity is visible but the priority is not.

Several competing ideas

Compare possible workflows before committing implementation budget.

Heavy Microsoft 365 use

Explore practical opportunities across Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Forms and Power Automate.

Spreadsheet and email processes

Identify handoffs, duplicate entry and manual status tracking.

Evidence needed for investment

Create an indicative business case using transparent assumptions.

Previous automation attempts

Clarify process ownership, data quality and maintenance responsibilities.

Limited technology budget

Prioritise the workflow with the strongest practical balance of value and feasibility.

Frequently asked questions

What to know before the Opportunity Audit.

How many workflows are included?

The number is confirmed in the proposal. The starting package is intended for a small number of clearly identified workflows.

Who should attend the workshop?

Include people who perform the work, own the business outcome and understand the relevant systems or data.

Do we need Microsoft 365?

No. Microsoft 365 is often a strong option for existing Microsoft users, but recommendations depend on your current platforms and requirements.

Is implementation included?

No. Implementation is a separate fixed-scope engagement. You may also use the roadmap internally or with another provider.

Are savings guaranteed?

No. Estimates use available information and agreed assumptions. Actual results depend on implementation, adoption, volumes, data quality and system reliability.

Will you need access to our systems?

Discovery may rely on demonstrations, screenshots, exports or limited access, depending on scope. Access requirements are confirmed before the audit.

What if a process is not ready to automate?

The roadmap can recommend process improvement, data cleanup or clearer ownership before automation is considered.

Can we use the roadmap with another provider?

Yes. The audit is designed to create practical findings that can inform internal work or another provider’s implementation planning.

How long does the audit take?

The schedule depends on scope, stakeholder availability and the quality of baseline information. The expected timeline is included in the proposal.

What happens after the audit?

You choose whether to implement internally, use an existing provider or request a separate CyberCrunch implementation proposal.
