## D06 - Technology Coherence

---

### Definition

Automation built using visual workflow tools rather than traditional programming, suitable for connecting existing software systems, automating recurring data tasks, and standardizing notification or approval flows without requiring engineering resources.

No-code automation adopted without a coherent evaluation framework produces the same tool accumulation problem as any other technology category — point solutions acquired by whoever learned the tool first, solving individual problems without building system coherence.

---

### Indicators

- Different team members have built individual automations using different tools with no shared standard.
- An automation was deployed for a task that still requires significant manual intervention or verification.
- No automation decision in the last year was evaluated against a formal filter before building.

---

### Quick Win

- Run the same four-question filter used in the AI Adoption Filter. It is the same test applied to a different tool category.
