Consider a recurring task such as turning a set of meeting notes into a list of open questions. It has a clear input, a useful output, and a person who can judge whether that output is accurate.
Find the repeatable step
Write down how the task happens today. Mark where judgment matters and where the work is mostly mechanical. An AI tool might propose a first pass at grouping questions while a person checks the original notes and resolves ambiguous wording.
Look at the whole task
A trial is easier to evaluate with several examples from the real workflow. Record how much time the draft saves and how much effort it takes to review. Include one example with messy inputs so the evaluation shows where the tool needs closer supervision.
The result can help the team decide whether to keep using the tool for this particular step.
