WorkflowMind

Understand the customer's operation before committing to the build.

Your team brings the technical expertise. WorkflowMind independently investigates the work the solution must support. Using QRED, structured staff walkthroughs and our purpose-built platform, we surface workarounds, conflicting accounts and dependencies, then provide customer-reviewed findings to inform scoping and design discussions.

Discuss Customer Discovery See What Your Team Receives →

  1. Pre-Sale Discovery

    Understand operational complexity, exceptions and customer assumptions before a proposed solution is fully scoped.

  2. Current-State Investigation

    One-hour participant walkthroughs support mapped workflows, followed by checks of differences and open questions with the customer.

  3. Evidence-Led Handover

    Receive reviewed current-state maps, dependencies and findings to support your own requirements and technical evaluation.

Surface the operational questions before they become project changes.

Technical requirements are easier to discuss when the customer and implementation team share a clear picture of how the work runs today and where accounts or assumptions differ.

Scope Clarity

Investigate current work and known variations before final pricing.

Evidence for Design

Use customer-reviewed workflows as inputs to technical requirements discussions.

Change Implications

Identify roles, handoffs and dependencies affected by the proposed implementation.

What your implementation team receives.

Current-State Process Maps

Mapped work showing decisions, exceptions and handoffs checked with the people involved.

Connected Operational Evidence

Roles, systems, effort, dependencies and gaps that can be discussed with the customer during requirements work.

Findings for Technical Scoping

Operational needs, wider change implications and explicit questions for the implementation team to investigate.

This is independent operational discovery, not a completed technical specification. Integration design, platform feasibility, data validation, security assessment and acceptance criteria remain part of separately agreed technical work.

What a discovery handover can look like.

Illustrative client onboarding example, not a client case study.

Question: Should we automate client onboarding, and what needs to change first?

Current-state onboarding workflow

  1. Step 1 · Sales

    Agrees scope

    Scope agreed in the CRM and a signed proposal.

    Depends on: CRM, signed proposal

  2. Step 2 · Operations

    Checks the handover

    Compares the handover against the proposal.

    Depends on: Sales scope record, CRM and email

  3. Step 3 · Finance

    Confirms billing

    Confirms the billing record.

    Depends on: Checked handover, accounting system

  4. Step 4 · Delivery

    Creates the project

    Starts only after agreed scope and billing confirmation.

    Depends on: Agreed scope, billing confirmation and project tool

  5. Step 5 · Operations

    Sends the welcome

    Sent once billing is confirmed and the delivery owner is assigned.

    Depends on: Billing confirmation, delivery owner and email

Exception path

Missing or changed scope returns to Operations at step 2. Operations confirms it with Sales before Finance (step 3) and Delivery (step 4) continue.

Findings and recommendations

F1 · Steps 1, 2 and 4

Scope is entered manually into the CRM and the project tool, so a changed proposal can leave different versions.

Recommendation: Agree the authoritative scope record and who owns changes to it.

Technical check still to do: Check field mapping, record identifiers, API access and update propagation.

F2 · Steps 2 and 3, exception path

Normal onboarding and scope exceptions are mixed together in the handover.

Recommendation: Separate routine rules from cases that need judgement.

Technical check still to do: Define exception handling, approval permissions and an audit trail before automating.

F3 · Steps 3, 4 and 5

The welcome depends on billing confirmation and an assigned delivery owner, but updates arrive by email.

Recommendation: Make those two prerequisites explicit.

Technical check still to do: Check event availability, failure and retry handling, and what happens when either prerequisite is missing.

Reconciling accounts

Sales describes the proposal as the agreed scope. Delivery relies on the emailed handover. In this example both accounts are reconciled into the model. Exception variants remain open questions.

Questions for the implementation team

  • Which system holds the authoritative scope, and who approves a change?
  • Which scope exceptions can follow a routine rule, and which need a person to decide?
  • Can billing confirmation and delivery-owner assignment be detected as events, and what happens on failure?

Independent findings, even when a solution is already proposed.

We begin with the operation, not with a technology that must be justified. The findings may support the proposed scope, reveal work to address first or show where a different approach deserves consideration. This helps the customer and implementation partner decide what the evidence actually supports.

Commission discovery around the customer's decision.

Business clients and implementation partners can commission the same Core and Enterprise Diagnostics. We agree the operational question, customer participation, permissions, evidence requirements and handover before work begins.

More extensive or specialist work is scoped separately with the customer.

Why implementation partners work with WorkflowMind

  • See operational complexity before agreeing the final implementation scope.
  • Bring conflicting internal requirements into the open while they can still be resolved.
  • Start design discussions with current-state evidence the customer has reviewed.
  • Keep the technology build with your team: WorkflowMind does not sell or configure competing software as part of independent discovery.

Commission Customer Discovery

Tell us about the decision, proposed implementation and customer workflows involved. We will discuss an appropriate discovery scope and handover.

The customer can engage us directly, or your firm can discuss commissioning discovery. Scope, customer permissions and the handover are agreed before work begins.
