Automating
A weekly note for service business owners who’ve become the bottleneck. Teardowns, scoring frameworks, and the unglamorous work of making a business run without you in the middle of it. No AI news.
A thousand applications a year, forty reviewers, a few weeks of calendar time. Everyone assumed it needed human judgment. It needed a rubric applied consistently…
Decisions, not ideas.
One workflow, start to finish. Where the time actually goes, what the handoffs cost, what the fix looks like.
Hours recovered against effort to build. Frameworks that help you decide, not just understand.
Lessons from builds I had to live with — and when the answer is “nothing here is worth automating yet.”
It looked like judgment. It was a rubric.
The full application-review teardown: what the process was, why it looked un-automatable, what the rubric turned out to be, where the person stays in the loop — and how to spot the same shape wearing different clothes in your own business.
