Workflow readiness
Use evidence from real work to answer each question. The checklist highlights preparation gaps; it cannot establish technical feasibility.

- Next check: usable, consistent inputs.
- Next check: a permitted system access route.
- Next check: documented exceptions and a review path.
- Equal weighting is a planning convention: Yes = 2, Partly = 1, No = 0. The points are not a feasibility probability or a promise that an integration can be built.
- Even with 10 points, inspect real examples, system permissions, security requirements and operating exceptions before scoping a pilot.
The formula
Five checks, equally weighted. Yes = 2 points. Partly = 1 point. No = 0 points. Maximum = 10. Recorded volume provides context and does not add points.
