Automation pays back against work somebody is already doing, so the first job is not technical. It is finding out what that work actually costs, which almost nobody has written down.

Count for a week

Ask the two or three people closest to it to note what they repeat and roughly how long it takes. A week of that beats a quarter of estimating, and it produces a number a budget holder will accept.

The most expensive process in a company is usually the one nobody has ever timed.

Wondering what this would take against your own systems?

The review is a fixed price, and you keep the costed plan and the risks whether you go ahead or not.
