Sofia manages the exceptions instead of acting as the connection between software tools.
How to read these estimates
Each total adds the recurring tasks shown above. Actual time saved depends on volume, process complexity, data quality and the tools already in place. The purpose is to make the work visible, not to promise a result.
What repeats in your week?
Look for work that follows the same rules, moves the same information between places, or delays more valuable decisions. That is where a useful system usually begins.
