Most automation projects don't fail because of the software.

They struggle because automation puts pressure on what already exists. If processes are unclear or full of exceptions, the system reflects that. If data is incomplete or unreliable, automation simply moves bad data faster.

Vendors usually configure software around current workflows. In the beginning, everything looks fine. But edge cases were missed. Old habits continue. Data issues surface. Over time, small gaps turn into workarounds. Trust fades and people return to spreadsheets.

Automation did not create the problem. It exposed it.

I help companies build automation on solid ground.

  • When friction appears, I clarify the root cause and what needs to be strengthened.
  • During implementation, I surface edge cases and data risks early.
  • Before committing, I assess whether the solution will hold up in real operations.

With 30 years across business and technology, I focus on durability, not just deployment.

In a short, structured engagement, we identify hidden risks, operational blind spots, and structural weaknesses that can undermine long-term stability. You receive clear findings, prioritized recommendations, and practical next steps so automation works in real operations, not just in theory.
