PEFC

The Inventor

Builds fast, tests properly.

People here build their own automations, and they're careful about it. They test, they check what comes out and they tell others what they've made. The business is benefiting from builders it never asked for.

Superpower

Real automation, done responsibly, by the people who know the work best.

Blind spot

It's still people-led. Each build belongs to its builder, not to the business.

Next move

Bring the best builds into the open: a named owner, a map of the work and a line in someone's job description.

The four letters

  • P People-led (who started it)
    AI arrived through curious people, before the business said anything.
  • E Engine (where ai sits)
    AI sits inside the work. Some of it runs without anyone asking.
  • F Fast (how fast it moves)
    Try it now, fix it later.
  • C Check (how it's checked)
    Clear rules, and someone checks what comes out.
