The 4 Boring Layers
A checklist for back-office tasks AI can automate without replacing staff.
Start with the back-office tasks that repeat every week and follow clear rules. Run one of yours through the four layers and see if it is a good first task.
What's inside
- Questions for each layer: rules, workflows, connected systems and reading documents.
- When to add AI: only where the input is messy, checked with fixed rules, with unclear cases sent to a person.
- A “score your process” box to pick a good first task.

“If the invoice is over this amount, a manager signs.”
Workflows
The same steps, in the same order, every time.
Connected systems
Connections between the systems you already have, so nobody retypes.
Reading documents
Pulling the numbers off a supplier statement.
