I built a two-tool browser-based toolkit that replicates the BA scoping workflow, from automation suitability assessment through to a structured PDD. Sharing it here for feedback from practitioners.
Tool 1: Process Assessment Tool
Based on UiPath’s automation suitability scoring model. Implements hard eliminatory gates (input type, rule-based check), postponement gates for process/app stability, and weighted scoring across complexity, data structure, volume, AHT, and FTE bandwidth. Applies multipliers for thin client (1.6x) and OCR (1.2x) scenarios. An AI reviewer reads both the scores and free-text notes to flag risks the scoring alone doesn’t capture.
Tool 2: PDD Planner
Covers seven phases: AS-IS mapping, Business Value & ROI, Technical & Business Exceptions, Dependency Mapping, TO-BE State, Edge Case Audit, and a PDD Readiness Gate. Includes an AI reviewer with conversational follow-up, auto-generated Mermaid.js flowchart, and markdown export.
How they connect
The Assessment Tool passes 13 parameters (process name, scores, bandwidth, exceptions, apps, frequency, volume, AHT, steps, flags, notes) via URL to the PDD Planner, which pre-fills on load.
Both tools support any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — bring your own base URL, key, and model. A proxy handles the default so it works out of the box without any setup.

Live demo: Process Assessment Tool
Interested in feedback on the methodology, particularly the scoring weights and whether the gate logic reflects how assessments are handled in practice.
