Owner
The steps people already trust stay. Each one gets an owner, so work is not waiting on a file.

Record
What changed, and who
A representative study of this kind of system. It describes the problem and the shape of a solution. It is not a published client result.
Who this is for. Teams whose day still depends on one workbook, a few owners, and copies that nobody wants to be the last to edit.
The challenge
Day-to-day operations often depend on one workbook, a few owners, and a trail of copies. It works until the business gets larger than the file.
The solution
We keep the steps people already trust, then give each step an owner, a status, and a record. The first release covers the path that causes the most rework, not every department at once.
Status
A request has a state the team can see. Permissions follow how they already approve work.
Record
The first release covers the path that causes the most rework. The next process can be added later.
What gets built
- A workflow with named owners and a visible status
- Permissions that match how the team already approves work
- An audit of what changed, and who changed it
- Room to add the next process without a rewrite
What changes
The operation no longer depends on one file and one person. New staff learn the process from the system.
