Email triage

Email triage for small businesses: start with the sorting

A conceptual sorting study: loose message slips become three organized trays, with one slip set aside for review.

A new inquiry arrives beside a supplier update, an invoice question, and a customer asking to change tomorrow’s appointment. Someone has to read each message, decide what it means, and put it in the right place.

Spreadsheet decisions

Make a spreadsheet easier to act on

A conceptual glass ledger: original paper notes stay in their rows beside suggested blue markers; an incomplete row is left unresolved.

A spreadsheet can hold every request in the business and still leave you unsure what to do next. The missing piece is often a consistent decision about each row.

Agent action boundaries

Before an AI agent acts: build a review boundary

A conceptual permission boundary: an action slip waits outside a glass enclosure, stopped by a solid bar before the receiving slot.

An assistant that drafts a reply has a different level of responsibility from one that sends it. The same distinction applies to deleting files, updating customer records, or making purchases.
