What Should Never Be Fully Automated?
Payments, legal submissions, customer communications, payroll and sensitive records. Automate the preparation; keep the decision.
Automation is not binary. Many workflows should remain human-in-the-loop: software gathers data, validates it and prepares an action; a person approves the final step. This matters most for payments, legal submissions, customer communications, payroll, sensitive records and other high-impact workflows.
Guardrails
Do not process if a required ID is missing. Do not overwrite an existing record without confirmation. Flag values outside an agreed range. Require approval above a threshold. Create a preview before live processing. Fail safely and alert; never fail silently.
