A method for automation decisions: which process is worth automating, how to estimate impact and risk before spending money, and where to start. Three editions, each in English, Polish and Russian.
Automation often starts with choosing a tool. The process has not been analysed, the payback has not been calculated, and the subscription is already paid for.
The system sets a different order. First the process and the goal, then the expected impact and risks, then the approach to implementation. There is no tool review in it: it is a decision procedure that can be used without a contractor.
Part 1, quick start: the approach to automation, how to find candidate processes, where to start, a five-step method. 30–45 minutes of reading.
Parts 1–5: quick start, an e-commerce module covering 18 processes, payback calculation and prioritisation, implementation architecture, what not to automate.
Tools: a payback calculator and an "automate or not" decision sheet in Excel, 7 ready prompts for Claude and ChatGPT, 3 worked calculations, a checklist of five typical mistakes.
Everything in Business plus Part 6: AI agents and multi-agent systems, self-hosting or a cloud service with a total cost of ownership calculation, GDPR requirements.
Tools: 5 more prompts, a 40-point GDPR checklist in Excel, a guide to deploying n8n on your own server.

An owner or manager deciding what to automate first. A project or product manager. A business analyst or automation specialist who needs to back a decision with numbers.
Professional is needed if the processes involve personal data, the industry is regulated (finance, healthcare, legal) or the solution has to run on your own server. If none of these apply, Business is enough.
The Business path takes about a week. Days 1–2: Part 1 and choosing one to three processes. Days 3–4: payback for one process, using the examples and the calculator. Day 5: the decision sheet gives an answer, automate or not.
A "yes" leads to Parts 2 and 4 and an implementation plan. A "no" leads to Part 5, why this process is not worth automating, and on to the next candidate.
The system is built for deciding on your own. If a mistake would be expensive or there are many processes, the same analysis is done in a consultation or a department audit.
