01 — Scoring

How the scoring works.

Each process is evaluated across five dimensions for a composite score out of 100.

Time investment

More hours per week = more savings potential. A 20+ hr task dwarfs a 2 hr one.

Up to 35 pts

Task frequency

Daily tasks deliver continuous returns. Weekly is steady. Monthly compounds slowest.

Up to 20 pts

Complexity level

Lower complexity = easier automation, higher success rates — 85% efficiency vs 40% for complex tasks.

Up to 15 pts

Error proneness

Error-prone tasks get a bonus: fixing errors costs 10–15× more than preventing them at the source.

Up to 15 pts

People involved

More people = more handoffs, more delays, more savings unlocked when automated.

Up to 15 pts

Combined score

Scores 60+ rate as high priority — automate first. 35–59 is medium. Under 35 is lower priority.

03 — Prioritization guide

How to prioritize automation projects.

A field guide to choosing the right starting point — and the right second move.

01

Why prioritization makes or breaks projects

Most organizations have dozens of processes that could benefit from automation, but limited budgets and team bandwidth mean you cannot tackle everything at once. Choosing the wrong starting point leads to stalled projects, wasted investment, and skepticism from leadership. Prioritization is what separates companies that get real ROI from those that never make it past a pilot.

02

The five factors that actually matter

Time investment measures raw hours. Frequency determines how those hours compound — a daily 2-hour task costs more annually than a monthly 8-hour one. Complexity gauges build difficulty. Error rates capture rework, corrections, and customer impact. Coordination overhead accounts for the handoffs and approvals that slow multi-person processes down.

03

Quick wins vs. major projects

Quick wins are high-impact processes with low implementation effort. They prove value fast and build organizational momentum — start here. Major projects deliver high impact too, but require more time, more integration work, and more change management. They belong in phase two, once you have proven outcomes and a playbook to point at.

04

Building your phased roadmap

Once your priority list is ranked, turn it into phases. Phase one tackles the top 1–2 quick wins within the first month or two. Phase two addresses the next tier of medium-complexity, high-impact processes. Phase three is reserved for larger transformation projects. Each phase delivers measurable wins that fund and justify the next.

05

How to measure real success

Don't just track hours saved — track quality, throughput, and team experience. The best automations let your humans do higher-value work, reduce error rates, and improve customer outcomes. If your only metric is cost, you'll miss the strategic wins that make the next round of automation easier to greenlight.

How does the prioritizer decide what to automate first?
It scores each process on five factors — time invested, frequency, complexity, error-proneness, and number of people involved — for a composite out of 100. Higher scores indicate processes where automation delivers the biggest impact relative to build effort.
How many processes can I add?
Up to 10 per analysis. Most teams get the cleanest signal with 5–8 of their most time-consuming manual tasks. You can run the tool again with different sets.
How accurate are the savings estimates?
Estimates use a $45 CAD blended hourly rate and complexity-based efficiency rates (85% low, 65% medium, 40% high). They're directional — actual savings depend on integration complexity and team adoption. Use them as a starting point, not a guarantee.
What does "complexity" mean here?
Low = rule-based, predictable inputs and outputs (data entry, file moving, sorting). Medium = some judgment but follows patterns (invoice matching, lead scoring). High = significant judgment, creativity, or unstructured decisions (negotiation, strategy). Even high-complexity tasks often have automatable sub-components.
Should I automate everything rated "high priority"?
Not at once. Start with the top one or two to prove the concept and demonstrate ROI. Phased rollouts reduce risk, build team confidence, and make sure each automation is solid before adding more.
Can I share these results with my team?
Yes — the calculator encodes your inputs into a shareable URL. Anyone with the link sees identical results. You can also generate a printable PDF report for offline review.
