How the scoring works.
Each process is evaluated across five dimensions for a composite score out of 100.
Time investment
More hours per week means more savings potential. A 20+ hr task dwarfs a 2 hr one.
Up to 35 ptsTask frequency
Daily tasks deliver continuous returns. Weekly is steady. Monthly compounds slowest.
Up to 20 ptsComplexity level
Lower complexity means easier automation and higher success rates: 85% efficiency vs 40% for complex tasks.
Up to 15 ptsError proneness
Error-prone tasks get a bonus. Fixing errors costs 10 to 15 times more than preventing them at the source.
Up to 15 ptsPeople involved
More people means more handoffs, more delays, and more savings unlocked when automated.
Up to 15 ptsCombined score
Scores of 60+ rate as high priority, automate first. 35 to 59 is medium. Under 35 is lower priority.

How to prioritize automation projects.
A field guide to choosing the right starting point, and the right second move.
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.
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.
Quick wins vs. major projects
Quick wins are high-impact processes with low implementation effort. They prove value fast and build organizational momentum, so 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.
Building your phased roadmap
Once your priority list is ranked, turn it into phases. Phase one tackles the top 1 to 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.
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.
