30-Day Implementation Plan

The Small Business AI Automation Playbook includes a structured plan for introducing one workflow at a time.

Days 1–7: Select and Map a Workflow

Choose a repetitive task, document its current process, identify its owner, and establish baseline measurements.

Days 8–14: Build a Controlled Pilot

Create the prompt, test it with approved information, document errors, and review how the workflow handles exceptions.

Days 15–21: Supervise the Workflow

Use the workflow with a small sample, require human approval, and collect feedback from the person responsible for the task.

Days 22–30: Stabilize and Evaluate

Document the final process, review the results, train the responsible person, and decide whether the workflow should be expanded, revised, paused, or discontinued.

Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence

Automation should support human work, not remove responsibility.

The playbook explains how to:

• Use only the minimum information necessary.
• Avoid entering sensitive customer information into unapproved tools.
• Verify facts, numbers, dates, prices, and policy statements.
• Maintain human review for important decisions.
• Protect passwords and payment information.
• Document how every workflow operates.
