How To Use This

Treat this as a working review, not a theory document

Use this as a working checklist, not a polished report. Open the page, flow, or system you want to review, go through each section, and write down what is broken, unclear, slow, missing, or hard for a customer to complete. If a check does not apply to your situation, skip it. The point is to find the few issues that would make the biggest difference before you spend time or money on AI Automation & Integration.

Checklist

Work through the checks in order

Start with the sections closest to revenue or lead flow. If something is broken, unclear, or untracked, write it down before jumping into a rebuild.

01

Feature Design

Design the AI feature around user value

A good AI integration should make a specific task easier, faster, or clearer for the user.

Define the user problem the AI feature solves.

Choose where the AI appears in the workflow.

Plan prompts, context, and user inputs.

Decide what the user can edit or approve.

Avoid adding AI where a simpler rule would work.

02

Production

Plan cost, reliability, privacy, and failure states

AI integrations need production thinking, not just a working demo.

Estimate usage and API costs.

Handle slow or failed AI responses.

Avoid sending unnecessary sensitive data.

Store outputs only when needed.

Add logs and support visibility for failed requests.

When To Get Help

Call a developer when the product is close but still risky to launch

A SaaS or MVP does not always need a rebuild. It does need a senior review when signup, onboarding, billing, roles, core workflows, or production stability are blocking real users.

The product works in demos but breaks when a new user tries it.

Billing, access, onboarding, or admin visibility is unreliable.

The codebase is hard to run, deploy, or safely change.

You are adding features before the core workflow is stable.
