How much these workflows decide on their own

  • 1
    Assist The system prepares information or a draft while the accountable person performs the decision and action.
  • 2
    Augment The system ranks, flags, or recommends; an accountable person decides whether and how to act.
  • 4
    Automate The system executes bounded routine steps and routes exceptions or consequential decisions to people.
