# Business Automation Audit
Turn a full picture of a business into a ranked, buildable automation plan: where AI and automation save the most time and money, how hard each is to build, and what to build first.

2. **Honest estimates beat impressive ones.** Every time and money figure is an estimate. Show the basis in a few words so it can be sanity-checked, and flag the ones built on thin air. A defensible "~6 hrs/wk, based on daily 30-min manual export" is worth more than a confident "$50k/yr" with no reasoning.
