What is the 30% rule for AI?

The 30% rule suggests you start by automating roughly one-third of repetitive work to get quick wins with low risk.

Why 30% works

  • Speed: See value in days, not months.
  • Adoption: Teams learn by doing on familiar tasks.
  • Risk control: Small scope = easy to monitor and adjust.

What to automate first

Pick tasks with clear rules and high volume—follow-ups, data entry, and status updates.
