Summary

If your business encounters these situations, review information flows and responsibilities first. AI can assist with reading and aggregating data, but business rules still need agreement. A clear foundation reduces back-and-forth during implementation.

A common situation

Illustrative scenario: Toward the end of the week, the employee who compiles reports takes leave. The team suddenly realizes that only this person knows where the final file is and how to combine the figures. What they want now is not another feature, but work that does not stop when one person is away.

Three steps you can try

  1. Identify where data is scattered.
  2. Document the rules that person keeps in their head.
  3. Have someone else try following the instructions.

What to remember

If your business encounters these situations, review information flows and responsibilities first. AI can assist with reading and aggregating data, but business rules still need agreement. A clear foundation reduces back-and-forth during implementation.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
