FIELD NOTE 01AESTHETIC-MEDICINE AGENCY OPS

Stop automating
the fog.

First make the real work visible. Then decide what people should own, where AI should assist, and which repeatable steps deserve automation.

One service line.
Every handoff exposed.

Select a stage to inspect the owner, required evidence, failure mode, and recommended automation boundary.

02 / PRIORITY

Rank the friction.
Protect the client.

A small scoring model prevents the loudest request from automatically becoming the next automation project.

Re-rank the illustrative backlog

03 / AI BOUNDARIES

Automation is not
the operating model.

Use AI where speed and consistency help. Keep judgment, promises, and sensitive client decisions visibly human-owned.

A
H

Human owns

  • Scope and pricing changes
  • Client commitments
  • Creative and compliance judgment
  • Exception resolution

Named owner · explicit approval · logged decision

B
AI

AI assists

  • Brief and meeting summaries
  • Checklist gap detection
  • First-draft SOPs
  • Weekly variance explanation

Source-linked · review required · no silent action

C

Automation owns

  • Status synchronization
  • Required-field validation
  • Routine task creation
  • Escalation reminders

Deterministic rule · observable run · safe retry

04 / PAID FIRST PHASE

One week.
One real improvement.

A capped diagnostic-and-pilot that creates evidence before a larger transformation commitment.

DAY 01 · OBSERVE

Trace the work as it happens.

Interview the CEO, chief of staff, and delivery owners. Follow three live jobs through ClickUp, Slack, GHL, and the actual files people use.

OUTPUTEvidence ledger + gap log
ACCEPTANCE CHECK

Every mapped stage has a named owner, input, output, system of record, and observable completion signal.

TIMEBOX10–12 hours
CAP$600 at $50/hr
OUTCOME1 tested pilot
HANDOFFSOP + 30-day plan
05 / AFTER THE PILOT

Scale only what
the team can own.

The next 30 days sequence process control before broader automation—so the system survives contact with real client work.

WEEK 01Stabilize

Lock the approved workflow, owners, fields, and escalation rules.

01
WEEK 02Instrument

Add completion signals, exception tracking, and a light operating scorecard.

02
WEEK 03Automate

Ship the next bounded automation with logging, review, and rollback.

03
WEEK 04Transfer

Train owners, test edge cases, and agree the next service line.

04
PROOF OF APPROACH

Less owner memory.
More operating clarity.

This field note demonstrates how I would think about the engagement—not a claim that your agency has these exact problems. The first paid phase replaces assumptions with evidence.
