The places I would look first

Work worth firing.

Look for the job that keeps coming back, follows roughly the same pattern, and makes a smart person feel like a copy machine.

A quick way to tell

Is this a sensible place to start?

You don’t need a perfect score. You need a job that repeats, a few real examples, and a clear place where a person can check anything important.

  1. 01Repeated often
  2. 02Painful or expensive
  3. 03Clear inputs
  4. 04Consistent output
  5. 05Safe approval point

What we do not fire

Judgment. Relationships. Responsibility.

A machine can prepare the decision. It should not quietly become the person responsible when the decision goes wrong.

People keep the sensitive replies, final approvals, strange exceptions, and the work where trust is the whole point.
