Executive intelligence — what to do next

Executive summary

Auto-generated · demo

Automation has grown steadily — 412 rules now handle work that required 182 manual interventions six months ago — but governance has not kept pace. The policy review is overdue, approvals are queuing, and access has not been recertified, which together create the conditions for silent parameter drift.

Key insights

  • Manual interventions have fallen 43% as rule coverage widened.
  • Reorder parameters are the most frequently changed and least formally reviewed area.
  • Approval limits are well segregated between operational and finance roles.

Business risks

Parameter drift
Unreviewed rules quietly stop matching real demand.
Access creep
Write permissions have not been recertified this half.

Growth opportunities

Standing quarterly review
Prevents the drift that currently drives reorder exceptions.
Rule ownership register
Every rule with a named owner and review date.
