I’ve inherited a pile of process PDFs, spreadsheets, and a couple of exported audit logs and I need to prove to Sarah in Operations where time is leaking before Friday’s steering meeting. I’m not sure which documents are authoritative, which data columns matter, or whether the scanned report I found is usable. Look at the list below, tell me the most likely places waste and duplication hide, and give me the single next action that gets me a defensible example for the meeting without breaking anything. Don’t suggest wholesale rework — I just need a short, verifiable diagnosis and one quick artifact I can show Sarah.

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
