# Phase 1: Identify High-Value Integration Points (Weeks 1-4)

**Start with workflows where trust and verification create the most pain.**

### Assessment Questions:

1. Where do reconciliation costs exceed $100K annually?
2. Which processes involve 3+ organizations with conflicting records?
3. Where do payment disputes delay cash flow by 30+ days?
4. Which products face counterfeiting or authenticity challenges?
5. Where do compliance audits take weeks due to scattered documentation?

#### Typical Starting Points by Industry:

* **Manufacturing:** PO creation → delivery → automated payment
* **Food/Beverage:** Origin certification → cold chain → traceability
* **Pharmaceuticals:** Component authentication → batch tracking → custody
* **Logistics:** Multi-carrier tracking → customs → proof of delivery
* **Retail:** Supplier invoicing → inventory verification → returns
