title: "What Is an AI Workflow Audit?"
description: "An AI workflow audit examines one recurring workflow with the people who run it, measures where time and errors go, and ends with a written recommendation: configure an existing tool, connect systems, automate a bounded part, build something custom, or leave it alone. A useful audit produces a baseline and a decision, not a slide deck of possibilities."

# What is an AI workflow audit, and what should you get from one?
An AI workflow audit examines one recurring workflow with the people who run it, measures where time and errors go, and ends with a written recommendation: configure an existing tool, connect systems, automate a bounded part, build something custom, or leave it alone. A useful audit produces a baseline and a decision, not a slide deck of possibilities.
## What this means in practice
- Pick one workflow with a named owner rather than auditing the whole company.
- Walk the real workflow: trigger, inputs, systems, handoffs and exceptions.
- Record a baseline so any later change can be measured.
- Expect options ranked by payback and risk, with approval points for anything sensitive.
## How Lid Vizion approaches it
We start with the business decision and operating context, define ownership and measurable milestones, then use configuration, integrations, automation, or custom software only where each earns its place.
