Automation speeds up tasks.But organizations do not run on tasks.They run on coordination.
When you automate without redesigning ownership,you remove friction at the surfaceand create congestion underneath.
Requests move faster,exceptions pile up,and humans spend more time resolving edge cases than before.
A real AI Audit asks a hard question:What coordination cost will this automation increase?
Because the fastest system on papercan become the slowest system in realityif responsibility is unclear.
Speed without ownership is just noise.
