Clarity Before Automation
Automation amplifies existing conditions. If the system is unclear, faster execution usually creates faster chaos.
Most teams do not have an automation problem first. They have a clarity problem first.
Before buying more tools, define the one decision your team repeatedly delays. Then define the single artifact that makes that decision easier.
Only after that should you automate. The right sequence is clarity, then process, then leverage.
