| Impact | Would improving this workflow materially change time, quality, revenue, service, risk, or decision clarity? | Baseline volume, delay, rework, error, cost, service, or decision signal tied to a named owner. |
| Feasibility | Are the context, data, permissions, integrations, skills, and operating capacity available for a bounded first version? | Source and system inventory, access owner, integration path, dependency list, and smallest viable scope. |
| Risk | What customer, financial, legal, privacy, security, people, or operational harm could occur if the workflow is wrong or unavailable? | Impact and likelihood, prohibited actions, control owner, escalation threshold, and fallback path. |
| Measurability | Can the team compare a baseline with a defined result and detect quality or risk drift after launch? | Baseline, target, evaluation set, acceptance threshold, monitoring signal, and review cadence. |
| Human review | Can an accountable person review the right outputs and exceptions without becoming the new bottleneck? | Reviewer role, review trigger, expected volume, response time, override, and escalation evidence. |
| Reversibility | Can the team pause, roll back, export, replace, or retire the workflow without losing control of data or operations? | Stop rule, manual fallback, rollback path, export rights, deletion and retention plan, and exit owner. |
