Hire, improve the process, or automate?

These choices solve different problems. Clarify the responsibility before choosing a tool or a new role.

Identify the judgment required

Work that depends on relationships, unusual situations or commercial decisions may need an experienced person. A repeatable preparation step with clear source information is a different candidate.

Check whether the rules exist

Automation does not fix unclear ownership. If two people disagree about what should happen next, resolve the rule first. Then identify where a person must review the output.

Assess the complete cost

Compare staffing, implementation, supported system access, usage, review and maintenance. Do not compare a salary with software subscription cost alone. Start with a bounded test and a known owner.
