Automation Readiness Checklist. The following content explains when the subject is relevant, what information is needed, and how the discussion moves to a practical next step.

The Automation Readiness Checklist is a free browser-based tool that walks through the four areas that decide whether an automation project works: the procedure itself, data ownership, systems and channels, and governance and oversight. You tick what is true today, and it produces a copyable summary of what is ready and what needs work before any workflow is built.

Nothing is ticked yet. Tick what is genuinely true today, and the summary and work list will appear here.

The result is based on your answers alone and is neither stored nor sent. The checklist does not estimate cost or duration and makes no promise about an outcome.

Why this tool exists

Why this tool exists

Most automation projects stall for reasons that are known in advance: an undocumented procedure, undefined data ownership, or exceptions with no owner. This checklist walks through those causes item by item and produces a summary of what is ready and what needs work first. The result is based on your answers alone — it is a self-diagnostic, not an assessment of your organisation by us.

How to use it

How to use it

  1. 1

    Pick the procedure you are considering automating, and answer about that procedure specifically rather than the whole organisation.

  2. 2

    Tick the items that are genuinely true today, and leave the rest unticked.

  3. 3

    Review the summary: the unticked items are your work list before any workflow gets built.

  4. 4

    Copy the summary to share with your team, or send it to us when asking for a proposal.

What the tool does not do

What the tool does not do

  • The tool stores nothing and sends nothing to any server; everything runs in your browser.
  • The summary does not estimate cost or duration, because that needs a review of the procedure itself.
  • The checklist does not measure return or savings, and makes no promise about an outcome.
