Map the current process
We identify where work starts, who touches it, what gets copied, what gets missed, and what the owner needs to see.
Start the walkthrough
Bring the process that is hardest to keep consistent: sales follow-up, quoting, scheduling, field service, inventory, or reporting. We will map the current workflow and identify the first measurable platform slice.
How the walkthrough works
MetricSpec walkthroughs are most useful when they start with a concrete business operation and work backward into the software structure that would make it easier to run.
We identify where work starts, who touches it, what gets copied, what gets missed, and what the owner needs to see.
We separate nice-to-have screens from the actual risk: slow quotes, stale follow-up, scattered job status, or weak inventory visibility.
We turn the workflow into a practical starting module with a clear success measure and room to expand.
Example workflow
Commercial sign quotes involve product rules, materials, installation, permits, vendor requests, margin assumptions, and client-ready output. MetricSpec turned that into a repeatable workflow instead of another fragile spreadsheet.

A short note is enough: who uses the workflow, what slows it down, and what outcome would make the system worth building.
