The work wakes itself up.
Stock falls, an invoice ages, a schedule changes, a job closes, or Friday arrives. No prompt required.
FIVE WORKING PATTERNS / NO OUTSIDE ACTIONS
Run the work that should happen in the background.
Pick a system. Watch it receive the event, do the repeatable pass, preserve the evidence, and stop at the decision a person should make.

WHAT MAKES IT AN AUTOMATION
The run starts without someone opening a chatbot.
The production system listens for the real business event, uses the current source records, takes approved actions in the existing tools, and reports only the exceptions or decisions.
Normal work moves. Exceptions stop.
Thresholds, approvals, permissions, and source-of-truth rules are documented and tested before launch.
Every important action has a source.
The business can see what triggered the run, what data was used, what changed, and what still needs a person.
YOUR TOOLS, YOUR KEYS
The system leaves. The dependency does not stay.
Each build ships with customer-owned connections, a system map, approval matrix, monitoring, test fixtures, credential map, kill switch, and runbook.
