FAQ

Key questions about automation

How do you choose which processes to automate?

Prioritise stable, high-volume processes with measurable effort or error costs, available data and low consequences if an automated step goes wrong.

What is straight-through processing?

The share of cases completed without human intervention. It should be tracked together with accuracy, because a high rate means little if errors reach downstream systems.

Where should people remain involved in automation?

Wherever decisions are consequential, irreversible, unusual or low in confidence, and in setting the rules and limits automated systems follow.
