Before You Automate,
Know What's Worth It.
Most AI investments fail because companies automate the wrong things. AWA is the diagnostic that tells you where automation pays back — and where it doesn't — with Glass Box ROI your CFO can audit cell by cell. No black boxes. No inflated promises.
Why 60% of AI Projects Stall.
The Problem is F.O.M.U. — Fear Of Messing Up
"What if AI exposes confidential information?"
"What if AI makes up answers and we act on them?"
"The vendor says 40% savings. Where's that number from?"
You need a safety map before you buy tools. Don't start with software demos. Start with knowing which tasks are safe to automate—and ROI you can actually audit.
What AWA Delivers: Glass Box Blueprint.
Every task is scored across 5 dimensions, then routed to the safest path. Every ROI formula is visible. Every assumption is editable. Your CFO can audit every number.
Low risk, high feasibility. Safe to fully automate with minimal oversight.
Medium complexity. AI drafts, human reviews and approves.
High risk or high moat. Keep human expertise in the loop.
Deliverables: Excel + Job Description
7-sheet Excel with live ROI formulas + Word document Job Description categorizing tasks by automation path. Plus: Validation Loop where you confirm the analysis, not us.
Glass Box ROI: The CFO Test.
Most AI ROI claims are "trust me" numbers. AWA's ROI is auditable. Click any cell, see the formula. Change any assumption, watch everything recalculate.
- ❌ "You'll save 40% on labor costs"
- ❌ No methodology disclosed
- ❌ Can't verify assumptions
- ❌ CFO can't audit the math
- ❌ Fixed numbers, can't customize
- ✅ Every formula visible in Excel
- ✅ Methodology documented in-sheet
- ✅ Edit yellow cells = instant recalc
- ✅ CFO clicks cell, sees formula bar
- ✅ 4 scenarios with live comparison
Every cell. Every formula. Click and verify.
Your CFO can audit every number in the Excel deliverable.
Safety by Design, Not by Hope.
We don't ask AI if something is risky. We tell it. Deterministic rules override AI recommendations to ensure critical tasks are never misrouted.
Tasks containing sensitive terms (Legal, Compliance, Payments) are automatically routed to Manual path — no AI judgment involved.
Tasks flagged as Critical Risk bypass AI routing entirely and go straight to Manual — safety first, always.
High-moat tasks that differentiate you from competitors are protected from full automation — preserving competitive advantage.
Validation Loop: You Confirm, Not Us.
Traditional consultants tell you what they think. AWA gives you the data and lets you validate it. Yellow cells in Excel are yours to edit. Re-upload, recalculate, repeat.
Multi-agent system generates task list with paths and time estimates.
Keep, Adjust, or Remove tasks. Change hours. Add comments.
Upload validated Excel. Get updated Job Description and ROI.
Client-validated analysis. No more "the consultant said so." Every number reflects your real-world input. Download a post-validation Job Description that reflects your confirmed task assignments.
Fast Baseline. Human Refinement.
AWA reconstructs what roles do using official labor data from O*NET and ESCO — no surveys, no interviews, no disruption. Then the Validation Loop adds the context only you have.
You provide role titles, company context, and tech stack. Job descriptions optional.
Official US & EU labor databases reconstruct the standard role profile.
Each task scored on 5 dimensions with tool recommendations.
AI analyses what exists. Humans see what's missing. The automated baseline gives you the standard role in days, not months. Your validation input adds the company-specific context — team structure, tool usage, coordination patterns — that turns a generic analysis into an actionable diagnostic. The baseline is fast. The insight comes from the conversation.
The Diagnostic Is the Starting Point.
AWA tells you what's worth automating. When the answer is "not much" — and for complex organisations, it often is — that's where strategic advisory begins.
What Exists
AI analyses every task, scores every automation path, calculates every ROI with transparent formulas.
- ✅ Task-level feasibility and ROI
- ✅ Structural pattern detection
- ✅ Glass Box audit trail
- ✅ "Don't automate" evidence base
What's Missing
Human expertise triangulates the diagnostic with organisational context — team structure, accountability gaps, workflow patterns — to identify what AI cannot see.
- ✅ Workflow redesign
- ✅ Organisational structure analysis
- ✅ Process architecture
- ✅ Implementation roadmap
AI analyses what exists. Humans see what's missing. The highest-value insight is almost always about what's missing — and that requires domain context, relationship understanding, and organisational judgment that no model reliably has.
