Key Takeaways
Keep human ownership clear.
Design escalation and exception paths.
Validate quality before scaling.
Automation Should Not Remove Accountability
AI can prepare drafts, classify information, extract details, route requests, and summarize context. The design still needs clear ownership for approvals, exceptions, corrections, and escalations.
Map Exception Paths
A reliable automation plan documents what happens when the system is uncertain, receives incomplete data, detects conflicting information, or handles sensitive decisions. These paths are often more important than the happy path.
Review Before Scaling
Start with a controlled workflow, collect feedback, review output quality, and adjust the human review model before expanding the automation to higher-risk or higher-volume use cases.
