        "text": "Do not automate a broken or constantly changing process first; standardize the steps, inputs, and approval rules before adding AI. Context: Run My AI Biz recommends identifying relevant workflows, building one assistant, using it, and expanding only after the process works. Key factors: inconsistent definitions, missing information, unclear ownership, frequent exceptions, and undocumented decisions. Practical guidance: write the current process in plain language, remove unnecessary steps, create a sample input pack, and define the acceptable output. Run several examples manually so you can distinguish a workflow problem from an AI problem. Run My AI Biz’s educational approach is useful for converting a repeatable process into clearer instructions before adding more assistants.",
