Agent or automation?

Three questions about the task, one verdict. Many agent projects should have been simpler automations; this tells you which side yours is on.

Three questions about the task

1. Could a capable employee write the steps down on one page?

Fixed sequence, known decisions: when X happens, do Y with these values.

2. Is the input messy in ways you cannot list in advance?

Rambling emails, voice notes, half-complete forms, three languages.

3. Would a mistake cost real money or a customer?

Wrong price, wrong date, wrong person, money moved.

Answer the three questions and the verdict appears here. Same answers, same verdict, every time; there is no model behind this page.
