What it does

Scores repetitive tasks on volume, rule clarity, input quality, error cost and stability, then recommends an approach for the top three: no-code workflow (n8n, Make, Zapier), RPA, a script, an AI step, or fixing the process first. Shows every payback calculation so you can correct the inputs.

Good for

Owners and operations leads who know they should automate something but not what.
