Choose an outcome before launch
Start with the task the business needs completed. For call intake, that might be an accurate request assigned to the right employee. For scheduling, it might be a confirmed booking recorded in the intended system. Counting conversations alone does not tell you whether either task happened.
Record a baseline
Observe the current process before the pilot. Capture eligible requests, completed tasks, time to the next action, and the work staff spend resolving exceptions. Use the same definitions during the pilot so the comparison remains useful.
Include the work that remains
Track correction time, duplicate records, unresolved requests, and escalations. Review costs belong in the evaluation alongside any time saved. If staff must inspect every result, that may be the right starting scope, but it should be visible in the assessment.
Connect the review to operations
Brandon Rennick’s Operations & Growth role at Overcy connects commercial opportunity with operating follow-through. A review should ask whether a workflow helps the business serve customers and manage work. It should not turn an unverified improvement into a claimed customer result.
Use a simple review scorecard
Keep the denominator visible
Report successful outcomes alongside all eligible attempts. For example, a transfer rate is meaningful only if you state which calls qualified for transfer and how many were attempted. Separate unanswered calls, technical failures, and callers who declined. Otherwise, a single percentage can hide very different problems.
Compare like with like
An after-hours pilot should be compared with a similar after-hours baseline. Avoid comparing a busy seasonal week with a quiet week and attributing the entire difference to automation. Note changes in staffing, promotions, lead sources, and business hours. These are possible explanations for an improvement or decline.
Choose the next action
End the review with a decision and an owner. Continue a stable workflow, revise a recurring failure, reduce the scope if review costs are high, or pause when outcomes cannot be verified. Share the decision with staff who handle the exceptions. A scorecard is useful when it changes the work, not merely when it looks good in a report.
Start with a
real workflow.
