Small Business Manual Workflow Inefficiency (Lead Post Disguised as Problem Discovery)
This post is not a genuine problem report — it is a thinly veiled service pitch by someone offering to build automation tools for small businesses in exchange for free early work. The 'problem' described (manual repetitive tasks eating time) is real in principle but is presented without any specific grounded use case or validated pain point.
