Agentic Workflow Redesign · Asset Pack

Automation rate is not the goal. Write down when the workflow must stop, and someone will finally let it go live.

Breaks multi-step manual workflows into a clear human-agent division of labor.

Starts from workflow deconstruction: decide which steps go to agents, which stay with human approval, and produce a workflow canvas plus acceptance criteria. Prevents automation for its own sake — rules and human-agent boundaries are written down before automation rates are discussed.

If you are hitting these

  • Many process steps, manual data shuffling and layers of approvals
  • Approval chains are long — waiting takes longer than doing
  • You want agents, but can't define the human-agent boundary or fallback design
When not to use it

The process itself is still unstable — stabilise it before handing any step to an agent.

How to use it

The full path from inventory to acceptance; each step has a concrete output.

Validation verdict and baseline numbers

Acceptance standards

You've used this pack well when the following hold — they double as review criteria.

  • 01

    Every agent step has explicit inputs, outputs and a failure fallback

  • 02

    Human approval points have concrete criteria, not "escalate when it feels off"

  • 03

    Automation rate has a baseline number for comparison after validation

Output template preview

A skeleton of what the pack produces; the full template ships inside the pack.

WORKFLOW CANVAS — Purchase approval
  1. S1 Request form (human)
  2. S2 Compliance pre-check (agent)
  3. S3 Exception to human (rule)
  4. S4 Approval (human)

Fallback: S2 confidence < 0.8 → S3

Dashed rules mark example rows — replace them with your own data and the sheet is done.
