What it can do
- Supports organisation-scale or unattended operation.
- Can reduce repetitive coordination and manual administration once the process is well understood.
Limitations
- Enterprise-scale automation needs monitoring, ownership and exception handling.
Prerequisites
- Named owner, tested process, appropriate access and cost controls.
Notes
Advanced generic capability; keep detailed governance in this section rather than beginner pages.
Watch-outs for Advanced: govern & scale
- Keep detailed governance here rather than repeating it on every beginner capability.
- Track ownership, access, cost, lifecycle and exceptions once services are shared or business-critical.
- AI Redlines remain separate from normal governance and should be treated as hard boundaries.
