## Beginner setup plan

1. Pick one annoying repeat task that already has a stable manual process.
2. Document the task before automating it.
3. Automate only rule-based steps and keep human review where judgment matters.
4. Add monitoring and intake forms only when they feed a clear owner and next action.
