Automation Reliability Review

Find why your automation keeps failing—before you rebuild it

The Automation Reliability Review is for an existing workflow that misses records, creates duplicates, or needs constant checking. I find where it breaks and give you a clear repair plan—without pushing you into a rebuild.

Signs this is for you

You can feel the problem even when you cannot see the cause

These are the failures that turn into manual work, customer frustration, and risky changes.

Events sometimes disappear

Leads, records, notifications, files, or invoices do not reliably reach the next system.

Someone has become the monitoring system

A team member checks runs, restarts jobs, or cleans up partial and duplicate results.

Customers discover failures first

Logging and alerts do not identify the problem before it affects the business.

Every change feels risky

The original builder is gone, ownership is unclear, or nobody understands the complete path.

Example of what you get

A clear answer, not a technical data dump

The report explains what is happening, why it matters, what proves it, and what to do first—using language your team can act on.

HighFinding ARR-01

A retry can create the same customer record twice

The CRM may create a customer record even when the automation does not receive confirmation. If the automation tries again, it can create a duplicate and send the team into manual cleanup.

Run historySystem responsesDuplicate recordsRetry settings

What should happen	What can go wrong	Why it matters
One customer submission creates one CRM record.	The automation tries again after the first record was already created.	The team has to find and clean up duplicates before they affect follow-up work.

Now

Pause automatic retries on this step and identify affected records.

Next

Check whether the record already exists before trying again.

Later

Add an alert for duplicate patterns and document how to recover.

This is an illustrative example of the report format—not a client result or a claim about a specific system.

Client feedback

“Collin was extremely attentive to what I needed and helped work through the different pieces of software.”

What you receive

A decision-ready repair plan

You keep the evidence, findings, and priorities whether I perform the follow-on repairs or someone else does.

Plain-English summary

What is failing, what the evidence shows, what remains unknown, and the immediate business risk.

Current workflow map

Where information starts, where it moves, what depends on it, and where failures can occur.

Prioritized findings

The problems that matter most, the evidence behind each one, and how confident the evidence is.

Now, Next, Later repair backlog

A practical sequence that separates immediate risk reduction from longer-term improvements.

Repair-or-rebuild recommendation

A direct recommendation to repair, replace one part, rebuild, or leave the workflow alone for now.

Findings call

Up to 60 minutes to walk through the evidence, tradeoffs, limitations, and next useful action.

How it works

A controlled first step before implementation

Diagnosis and repair planChanges to the live workflow are quoted separately.

Confirm the workflow and access

A kickoff call of up to 45 minutes confirms what the workflow should do, what is going wrong, who owns it, and what information is available.

Trace what happens

I review recent runs, system handoffs, missing or duplicate records, retry behavior, alerts, and the information available when something fails.

Choose the safest next action

You receive the findings before any implementation is proposed. If stabilization makes sense, it is scoped separately instead of being hidden inside the diagnostic.

Scope and fit

Clear scope keeps the review useful

Strong fit

The workflow already exists and matters to the business.
A reliability, recovery, or ownership concern can be identified.
Controlled access, exports, logs, or recent examples are available.
You want evidence before funding a larger repair or rebuild.

Needs a different scope

The work covers multiple unrelated workflows or environments.
No useful system evidence or access is available.
The request is primarily a compliance audit or penetration test.
Production repair work is expected inside the diagnostic price.
