Automation can handle a repeated step while leaving exceptional cases unresolved. If the process continues without acknowledging those cases, a small uncertainty can turn into a confident but unsuitable result.
Define the boundary alongside the ordinary path. Which inputs are understood, which outcomes can be checked, and when should the process pause? A handoff should include enough context for a person to decide what happens next.
Review the cases that required attention. They may suggest a clearer instruction or a narrower scope, rather than a need to automate everything. Useful progress includes knowing where the tool’s responsibility ends.
A small working example.
Imagine a routine that prepares a suggested schedule but asks a person to resolve competing commitments. The handoff occurs where context changes the decision.
A note to keep beside it.
A visible improvement needs a useful comparison. Describe the earlier condition and the task that should become easier, then look for the actual change.
- Define the understood inputs.
- Make uncertainty a visible handoff.
- Review exceptions before expanding the scope.
