People rechecked records across sheets
- Source and historical headers used different formats
- Phone and birth-date formats were inconsistent
- Shared contacts and likely duplicates needed different treatment
- Notes and message states were scattered
Anonymized operating case
From scattered rosters to one reviewable operating flow.
This anonymized case is currently used by a team that manages program applications and participation rosters. No organization or applicant identifiers are published.
Operating problem
Source responses, prior rosters, and round sheets moved separately.
Staff repeatedly compared tables to identify new applicants, returning participants, and likely duplicates, then maintained round rosters and message targets in separate views.
Automation organizes; people review exceptions
- Source responses remain intact
- A master roster and round rosters are generated
- Likely duplicates and uncertain history stay visible
- Messages require queueing, approval, and final confirmation
The screens below apply the operating rules to fictional applicants. No customer source or real contact information was used.
Measured honestly
Time savings are published only after comparable observation.
Live use and the operating flow are confirmed. We do not advertise a time-saving number until staffing and elapsed time are observed on the same basis before and after adoption.
Formula
Monthly hours saved
Runs per month × ((staff before × minutes before) − (staff after × review minutes after)) ÷ 60. Every input is labeled measured, estimated, or assumed.
