How this works

For someone who copies information between a website, app or spreadsheet and wants to choose one practical improvement.

What you need

  • Where the information starts and where it goes.
  • How it moves and who checks it.
  • How often it happens and the handling minutes each time, if you know them.

How the result is chosen

The tool looks at one handoff, not your whole business. Missing information means there is more to confirm. If a connection is unnecessary, it recommends no connection. Otherwise, a missing owner comes before automation. For a manual handoff with an owner, it suggests a small test. Frequency multiplied by handling minutes describes current workload, not savings.

What it cannot tell you

This does not connect to your systems, inspect your records or price an integration. It cannot establish a return on investment or promise time savings.

Illustrative example — not a client result

From these answers to a next step

  • Website → Spreadsheets
  • Manual copying; someone already owns and checks the handoff
  • 40 entries per week × 4 handling minutes each

Website → Spreadsheets: 160 minutes of weekly handling time based on your entries.

Test one simpler handoff

You described manual copying. First find out whether a checklist, template or supported connection reduces it.

  1. Write down the fields that must arrive and who checks them.
  2. Measure handling time and missing details for one week.
  3. Try one structured record or a small supported integration; keep the current process available.
  4. Compare total handling and review time before expanding the change.
Owner
The person you already assign to the handoff
How to check
Compare complete records, duplicate entries and total handling minutes before and after the test.

This plan describes one handoff, based only on your answers.

Handling time is current workload, not guaranteed savings. A change still needs setup, maintenance and human checking.

Before you start

Does 160 minutes mean I can save 160 minutes?

No. It is the entered current workload. Setup, exceptions, maintenance and checking still take time. Measure those costs before deciding whether a change is worthwhile.

What if I do not know the timings?

Choose what you know and leave the estimate unknown. Observe a small sample first; do not invent numbers to get a more definite result.

What do I leave with?

A first thing to check, why it matters, suggested steps, an owner and a way to measure the change. You can copy or print the plan.
