Field note
The quiet power of small automation.
A few dependable scripts can remove more friction than a grand platform rewrite.
Find the repeat
Look for repeated copying, checking, renaming, and reporting. Those tasks are good candidates because their inputs and expected outputs are usually easy to describe.
Keep the loop visible
Automate one narrow task, make its output visible, and keep a human in the loop until the edge cases are understood. Small tools earn trust by being predictable.
