Process
Make the work clear before making it faster.
SFL starts with the workflow as it actually runs, then separates cleanup, owner decisions, and safe automation candidates.
1. Collect the real mess
Notes, screenshots, folders, forms, text fragments, and handoff gaps. The point is to see the current habit without pretending it is cleaner than it is.
2. Build the working rule
Turn the repeatable parts into a plain SOP draft, checklist, or handoff rule. Keep unresolved questions attached.
3. Automate only the safe parts
Drafting, sorting, routing, and reminders can help. Risky actions stay behind approval.
