  1. Open New AI chat

    Everyday workarounds can reveal a process worth improving. Open New AI chat to understand why staff copy order numbers from email into the service system.

  2. Choose the evidence

    Use the workflow conversations available to you. Look for repeated manual steps and the reasons people give for doing them.

  3. Ask about manual steps

    Ask what gets copied or entered by hand, why it happens and what is known about frequency and time. Submit the question to investigate the extra work.

  4. Review the workaround

    The order field arrives empty, so staff return to email and fill it themselves. Volume and time cost are still unknown. Open the source to check the reason.

  5. Open the workflow call

    Maya describes copying the order number from email because the incoming request leaves that field empty. Read the transcript to understand the handoff.

  6. Hear why it happens

    The empty field explains why the team adds a manual step. The conversation does not measure how much time it costs. Return to the brief.

  7. Assess the improvement with real evidence

    Check how the order field is populated, then measure the frequency and time spent. You have an improvement to assess, grounded in how the work actually happens.

When to use it

You want to improve a workflow and need evidence of where people work around the process.

Start with

  • Service and internal operations conversations

How to do it

  1. On Home, ask about the manual steps described in the relevant service conversations.

  2. Open the cited calls to check the task, reason and evidence of repetition.

  3. Validate frequency and time spent with the people doing the work before choosing an improvement.

Ask Meetric

Search these service conversations for tasks people copy, paste or enter by hand. Describe the extra step and the reason given. Check whether frequency is established and link the evidence.
