Automation ROI Audit

Know which improvements
are worth building.

Assess where business process automation could save time and justify its cost. Examine selected workflows, test the assumptions and compare opportunities by expected return, feasibility and readiness.

A dimensional automation audit worksheet compares invoice entry, weekly reporting and quote follow-up. Illustrative ROI scores are 68, 97 and 54; weekly reporting is marked as the priority. These example scores show ranking, not a return percentage or client result. Time, volume, cost, feasibility and readiness inform a recommendation to build, prepare first or stop.

How the Audit works

From uncertainty
to an informed decision.

Agree the question. Gather evidence. Compare the options. Review the recommendation. Transfer the decision asset.

1
Scope

Define the decision.

Agree the workflows and investment question the Audit will investigate. Establish an explicit assessment boundary.

2
Measure

Establish the baseline.

Review representative records, effort, volumes, exceptions, dependencies and access with the people doing the work. Record the evidence and its gaps.

3
Compare

Test the business case.

Compare expected benefit, implementation and operating cost, feasibility, readiness and risk. Make assumptions and uncertainty visible.

4
Review

Challenge the recommendation.

Review the options and evidence together. Agree the next decision, including reasons to prepare first, investigate further or stop.

Questions about this service

Straight answers.

What you need to know before starting a conversation.

What will the Audit help us decide?

Where to put your effort first. You receive a workflow map, ranked opportunities and a recommended next step, with the evidence and assumptions behind the recommendation.

Can we book the Audit on its own?

Yes. The findings are yours to use with our team, another partner or your own people.

Can the Audit focus on one workflow?

Absolutely. We assess it against your business goal and check how changes would affect the work before and after it.

What should we prepare?

A few real examples and access to the people who understand the work. We’ll tell you which records or measurements would help.

Do we need tidy processes or complete records first?

We work from the operation you have today. Gaps, workarounds and exceptions help explain where time goes and what needs attention before a reliable automation can be built.

We’re too busy. How much of our time will the Audit need?

We agree a manageable schedule with a process owner and the relevant staff. Your team explains the work and checks our findings. We handle the mapping, analysis and recommendations.

How do you choose what to recommend?

The starting point is the constraint on your goal. We compare process changes, existing software and automation by expected value, feasibility and speed of results. A small improvement that releases capacity quickly can be a better first move than a much larger build.

How do you estimate the return?

We measure the work, including the people involved, its frequency and the time it consumes. We then compare the expected improvement with implementation and running costs. The estimate shows its assumptions and distinguishes time freed for other work from actual cash savings, so you can judge the investment.

How can we qualify for a free Audit?

Qualifying established businesses receive the Audit and training for three key employees at no additional charge through The First Win Automation. You pay for workflow implementation.
A useful next conversation

Bring us the work
you want to improve.

Discuss your priorities, the people and systems involved, and a useful next step.

The first question I want us to answer is: what would make the biggest difference to your business?

That gives us a reason to build. We look at the work holding you back, choose an improvement worth making, and stay involved through implementation and training so your team can put it to use.
