EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The strongest automation opportunities are lead intake, follow-up, client onboarding, and reporting. The first priority should not be a fully autonomous AI agent. The current process needs better standardization and measurement before deeper automation. WHAT TO AUTOMATE Lead intake is a high-priority opportunity. Standardize incoming lead data, validate required fields, and automatically create or update CRM records. Lead follow-up is also a strong candidate for rule-based automation using reminders and defined follow-up conditions. WHAT TO AI-ASSIST Proposal drafting can be AI-assisted using structured client information and approved service information. Human approval should remain required before sending proposals. WHAT TO INVESTIGATE Weekly reporting may be a significant opportunity, but the actual workload is NOT PROVIDED. Measure preparation time before estimating ROI. 30-DAY PLAN Week 1: Standardize lead and onboarding data. Week 2: Automate CRM intake and follow-up reminders. Week 3: Pilot AI-assisted proposal drafting. Week 4: Measure response time, manual touches, and hours recovered. KEY UNKNOWN The current time spent on each process is unknown, so financial ROI cannot yet be estimated reliably.
