Before you automate it, map the manual pass.

The Manual Pass Map is a seven-minute checklist for turning one messy manual run into an automation spec you can trust: trigger, real path, exceptions, judgment calls, stop rules, and the first safe piece to automate.

In seven minutes, you'll capture:

• →Trigger - what actually starts the work, not the fake example in the diagram.
• →Path - the tabs, people, files, messages, and decisions your hands really touched.
• →Exceptions - the missing information, edge cases, and judgment calls that break naive automation.
• →Boundary - what to automate now, what needs a human, and when the system should stop.

“If you have not done the work by hand, your workflow is a rumor. Map the rumor before you turn it into machinery.” - Mona Bellrose
