THE MDX METHOD / ACCOUNTABLE AUTOMATION

The work moves.
Your judgement stays.

We start with the real process, decide where automation must stop, and prove the workflow with the people who will use it.

FIXED SCOPE · NAMED APPROVALS · YOUR SYSTEM TO KEEP
01 / THE DECISION MAP

Three kinds of work.
One clear boundary.

We record the reason for every handover instead of hiding it inside a tool.

AUTOMATE

Low risk and reversible

Rules-based steps can move on their own when the conditions are clear and approved. Think filing, routing or a pre-approved reminder.

ASSIST

Prepared for review

The workflow reads, matches or drafts. A named person checks the source and approves before a client-facing or consequential step.

HUMAN ONLY

Judgement stays human

Professional advice, evidence, clinical judgement and decisions affecting people are kept with the qualified person.

02 / FROM QUESTION TO HANDOVER

Accountable automation,
step by step.

Seven decisions from the first audit to a handover your team can run.

01 / 07

Audit the real work

We map one process with the person who actually runs it: inputs, decisions, handovers, systems and exceptions. We time the work so the recommendation has a baseline.

A written process map, ranked opportunities and a fixed build quote.
02 / 07

Mark the Stop Points

Together we classify each step as Automate, Assist or Human only. A named role owns every approval point. Client communication, money, advice and irreversible actions receive particular care.

A Stop Point register with the owner and reason for each pause.
03 / 07

Design the Failure Plan

For each step we ask what happens when information is missing, an output is uncertain or a connection fails. The answer is a route to pause, retry, escalate or return to a person.

A documented recovery route before the build starts.
04 / 07

Build in your tools

We check the systems you already use before proposing another platform. The workflow, permissions and data path are agreed during scoping.

A working flow connected to the agreed tools.
05 / 07

Prove it with your team

We compare sample outputs with your current process, test exceptions and tune the Stop Points. Your team decides when the workflow is ready to use.

A recorded review of results and remaining limits.
06 / 07

Hand over the Control File

You receive the workflow map, approval register, logging design, data and tool list, failure procedure and reviewer notes. You keep the accounts and documentation.

A system your people can inspect, operate and switch off.
07 / 07

Care, if you want it

Tools and work change. Optional care covers monitoring, break fixes and agreed adjustments to review points.

A month-to-month option, with 30 days’ notice.
WHAT YOU KEEP

One workflow.
A clear record of control.

The Control File describes what the system does, who can approve it, what gets logged, where the data goes and how to return to manual work.
