A task performed by Computer and Information Research Scientists
Evaluate project plans and proposals to assess feasibility issues.
Likely yes, and the people who do it want it gone. Workers rate their desire to automate this 4.1/5, and experts rate current AI capability at 4/5. That puts it in the Automation Green Light zone.
Do you want this task automated?
How much the people who do this task want AI to take it over (avg of 10 workers).
How capable experts rate current AI at this task (avg of 2 experts).
How much human involvement should stay?
The Human Agency Scale (H1–H5) captures how much human direction workers think this task should keep.
Why workers want this automated
- Frees up time for higher-value work70%
- Reduces human error70%
- Helps handle larger scale60%
- It's repetitive30%

- It's difficult20%
How to automate this
Good news: this is a strong candidate to automate now.
Judgment, review & checks
Automate the checks, keep the decision with a person.
- 1Write down the rules and checklists you follow to evaluate project plans and proposals to assess feasibility issues, then encode them so routine cases are flagged automatically.
- 2Add validation rules to catch errors before they reach you.
- 3Let AI pre-screen and surface the exceptions, you decide the hard ones.
