About
Practical automation, built with receipts.
Ori8 Automations is run by Mike in Great Bend, Kansas. The work is focused on helping small teams fix recurring workflow breakdowns without handing control to a black box.
Ori8 starts with one limited problem, maps the real process, marks sensitive actions, builds only what is useful, and documents what happened so the customer owns the result.
Operating principles
When not to automate matters as much as when to automate.
If a checklist, form change, built-in tool feature, or clearer owner solves the problem more safely than automation, Ori8 will say so.
People stay in control
Customer-facing messages, record changes, and production launches require approval.
Small beats sprawling
The first project should solve one real problem without creating another system nobody owns.
The handoff matters
Customers receive notes about systems touched, tests performed, limits, and next steps.
Bring one stuck workflow.
If it keeps getting missed, copied, chased, or re-explained, it is probably worth mapping.
