The problem

Inbound opportunity handling is repetitive enough to automate and consequential enough that a bad automated reply costs more than the time it saved.

Why it mattered

Response time affects outcomes, but so does saying the wrong thing quickly.

What I built

A workflow that prepares and routes replies while keeping a human decision in the path where the consequences justify one.

What I learned

Automate the preparation, not the accountability. Removing human effort is the goal; removing human responsibility where judgment carries consequences is not.
