Does your business task need AI, or would a clear handoff and a simple rule work better?

Kristina and Dylan work through a fictional painting business's quote inquiries. They compare ordinary automation with an AI-assisted intake draft, show how a customer preference can become an invented promise, and count the checking and maintenance time behind a time-saving claim.

Workflow Decision Sheet: copy these fields for one task.
1. Task and acceptable finished result.
2. Current process: human minutes, errors and owner.
3. Simple-rule option: setup time, repeated work and exceptions.
4. AI-assisted option: drafting, checking, correction and maintenance time.
5. Software cost and setup effort.
6. Who checks the output, and when will you review it?
7. Off switch and return to ordinary intake.

Test with fictional messages first. Keep the original request beside the draft. Count all active checking time; saved capacity is not automatically cash.
