The project in view

Start with
redacted receipt images and expense categories.
Proposed result
a source-linked expense worksheet.
A decision to resolve
unreadable totals and mixed currencies.

This is a planning example. It does not describe a completed client engagement.

Scope & boundaries for this project

  • Map the existing process before selecting automation. Keep a manual route for exceptions.
  • Use “a source-linked expense worksheet” as the proposed deliverable; confirm what is included in that description.
  • Resolve this boundary early: unreadable totals and mixed currencies.

Questions to answer together

  • Who uses the result, and what decision does it support?
  • Which part of the current process is included?
  • Which exceptions and adjacent tasks are excluded?

What to have at the end

A bounded scope with an owner, an intended result and explicit exclusions.

Record the decision on unreadable totals and mixed currencies alongside the source material. If it is still unresolved, identify who can answer it and what work depends on the answer.
