# Elkwai Solutions business workflow starter

Planning prompts, not a client result, quote, qualification requirement or service agreement.

## Your workflow

- Current task and people involved:
- Current sources, formats and systems:
- Useful first output:
- Volume, effort and correction time:
- Permitted data and access boundary:
- Failure cases, manual alternative and recovery:
- How to measure success and review it:
- Setup, licensing, hosting, model usage and maintenance costs:
- Ownership, handoff and target timing:

Do not include passwords, keys, customer records or confidential source files in an initial inquiry.

## Working checks by scenario

### Turn incoming documents into reviewed records
People copy invoice, order or form details into another system, then spend more time finding omissions, resolving conflicting values and checking revisions.
Practical alternative: Start with a structured form or an existing export when available. Use deterministic labels for consistent documents. Add OCR or model-assisted extraction only where the variation warrants it; a chat window is not a required interface.
Measures: Reviewed field correctness, omitted values, review minutes, correction effort and end-to-end completion per document. Compare like-for-like document types, including difficult and unreadable examples.
- Try Document Desk: https://elkwai.com/document-desk.html (Free workspace: one document, two pages; a separate $79 offline edition is available.)
- Measure extracted fields: https://elkwai.com/extraction-accuracy-evaluator.html (Compare reviewed scalar values with supplied outputs; this check does not extract documents.)
Offer: https://elkwai.com/ai-workflow-pilot.html
One agreed workflow, tests, exceptions and handoff under a written quote. Model usage and deployment are identified separately.

### Find usable answers in approved company information
Useful instructions live across PDFs, shared drives and old revisions. Staff search repeatedly, and a confident answer may quote a document that is obsolete or unavailable to that person.
Practical alternative: Fix version ownership and ordinary search first. Use retrieval-assisted AI for synthesis across approved material when it adds value. A local deployment can be considered alongside a private cloud; neither alone establishes accuracy or permission handling.
Measures: Retrieval recall and ranking, answer correctness against reviewed evidence, missing-document coverage, resolution time and review effort. A retrieval score alone does not prove a grounded final answer.
- Evaluate document retrieval: https://elkwai.com/rag-retrieval-evaluator.html (Judged document IDs and ranked results; no document content or model calls.)
- Check index delivery metadata: https://elkwai.com/data-feed-health-checker.html (Supplied snapshot timestamps and counts; not a live index inspection.)
Offer: https://elkwai.com/ai-workflow-pilot.html
A quoted pilot defines sources, access, evaluation and operating handoff. Local AI hardware, hosting and model costs are separately identified.

### Keep CRM, inventory and downstream records aligned
One system says a record changed while another still has the previous version. A recent import does not establish complete coverage, and retries can create duplicate updates.
Practical alternative: Use the vendor-supported export, native connector or ordinary scheduled synchronization if it meets the requirement. A custom connector is useful when identity, transformations, audit history or exceptions need behavior the existing tools do not provide.
Measures: Changed records reconciled, missing partitions, stale content, collection delay, duplicate effects, exception age and operator correction time. Do not equate a successful request with a completed business update.
- Check data feed health: https://elkwai.com/data-feed-health-checker.html (Explicit cutoff and customer-supplied limits; no continuous monitoring.)
- Compare CSV exports: https://elkwai.com/compare-csv-files.html (Small local comparisons; custom mapping and a production sync are separate work.)
- Inspect retry effects: https://elkwai.com/webhook-delivery-analyzer.html (Recorded attempts and effect counts; no live replay or connector.)
Offer: https://elkwai.com/data-workflow-audit.html
One agreed input, transformation and inspectable output. A multi-system connector, monitoring and ongoing operation require a separate scope and quote.

### Route requests and exceptions to the right next action
Incoming requests need classification, missing information, an owner and a follow-up. The wrong route can be more costly than leaving an uncertain case for review.
Practical alternative: Use explicit forms, rules or existing helpdesk routing for predictable requests. Add classification or extraction for genuinely varied content; keep unusual, incomplete and consequential cases in a human review queue.
Measures: Per-class precision and recall, wrong-owner transfers, abstentions, resolution time, review minutes, duplicate effects and completed handoffs. Track rare but costly errors separately from aggregate accuracy.
- Measure routing decisions: https://elkwai.com/ai-classification-evaluator.html (Single-label reference decisions; scores do not establish reliable future performance.)
- Inspect recorded actions: https://elkwai.com/agent-workflow-checker.html (Serial recorded tool calls; not a live agent runner or workflow approval.)
- Test intended tool permissions: https://elkwai.com/mcp-tool-policy-tester.html (Supplied labels and expected rules; not authenticated live authorization.)
Offer: https://elkwai.com/ai-workflow-pilot.html
One defined workflow under a written quote. External actions, operating responsibility and recurring costs are agreed separately.

### Change APIs and MCP tools without losing the workflow
A renamed tool, required argument or changed response breaks an integration. A successful schema check still cannot prove that authentication, side effects or retries behave correctly in production.
Practical alternative: Prefer existing client libraries and provider-supported connectors where they fit. Combine static contract checks with integration tests and a bounded rollout instead of treating one lint result as release permission.
Measures: Compatibility findings, rejected invalid payloads, incorrect grants, duplicate effects, missing telemetry and completed business actions. Compare recorded costs and latency without assuming the same workload.
- Check API and payload contracts: https://elkwai.com/api-mcp-validation-tools.html (Free bounded browser checks; integration execution remains separate.)
- Compare MCP catalog changes: https://elkwai.com/mcp-contract-diff.html (Complete supplied tool catalogs; not an OAuth or runtime conformance certification.)
- Test intended tool permissions: https://elkwai.com/mcp-tool-policy-tester.html (Default-deny policy simulation only; real identity must be checked in the implementation.)
Offer: https://elkwai.com/developer-assurance-kit.html
One-time offline software with CLI, SDK, private CI and five local MCP checks. Feed, policy, extraction, retrieval and recorded-agent analyzers remain separate free tools. Custom integration is separately quoted.

### Replace a repeated spreadsheet handoff with an internal app
A job, quote or approval passes through email and several spreadsheets. People cannot see the current owner, missing evidence or the next action without asking someone.
Practical alternative: A better shared form, existing project tool or conventional application may solve the task without AI. Add model assistance only to a bounded step such as extracting a request or drafting a reviewed summary.
Measures: Cycle time, repeat data entry, missing evidence, stalled handoffs, review effort and completed jobs. Freed time is additional capacity unless the organization actually reduces paid costs.
- Organize a request in the free beta: https://elkwai.com/workspace.html?workflow=service_intake#new-run (Published beta usage and retention limits apply; not a custom production app.)
- Compare workflow effort and costs: https://elkwai.com/working-together.html#business-value (User-supplied assumptions, not measured savings or a quote.)
Offer: https://elkwai.com/contact.html?workstream=custom-software
Written milestones, acceptance tests, ownership and handoff. Licenses, hosting, migration and support are separately stated.
