Bring one example to the first conversation.
You do not need every answer. Describe a specific task so we can work through sources, scope and a useful next step.
- Could you describe a sanitized email, invoice or order sheet?
- How is it handled today, and who confirms the source and result?
- Which fields are often missing or conflicting?
- Which systems are involved, and who authorizes reading or writing?
- Who takes over on an exception, and how does the existing process resume?
