Not because the technology dosen't work.
Because the brief was wrong.
The brief was: "automate our invoice process."
The actual problem was: "our data quality is poor and we don't know why."
Automating a broken process at scale just makes the breakage faster and more expensive.
The first question we ask every client isn't "how many invoices do you process?"
It's: "What does a bad invoice cost you - and how often does one slip through?"
The answer is usually surpeising. And it's always the right place to start.
What was the real problem underneath the last process improvment project you ran?
