Audit a role before you hire for it

Ops & admin automation · SOPs & process documentation · checked 2026-10-17

List the outputs a role produces, have Claude sort them into automate, assist and human, pilot the AI items for two weeks with tasks in ClickUp, then write the job description and SOPs in Notion.

Hire for the work AI can't do.

Not advice

IonBin provides general information and software comparisons, not tax, legal, accounting or financial advice. Tax and legal rules vary by situation and jurisdiction; consult a qualified professional (CPA, enrolled agent or attorney) before acting.

AI tools can make mistakes. Verify every figure against the original documents and official IRS or state guidance before filing or signing.

Redact Social Security numbers, account numbers and EINs before uploading documents to any AI assistant, and check its data-retention settings. Upload originals only to the filing or signing software.

Requirements vary by state. File through official sources such as the USPTO trademark search and your state’s Secretary of State site.

Steps

#WhoWhat happensHowStatus
1You List the role's outputs with the person doing it today Human step Confirmed
2Claude Sorts them into automate, assist and human, with reasons and risks AI platform Confirmed
3You Set up a two-week pilot as ClickUp tasks with a reviewer Human step Confirmed
4You Write the job description and SOPs in Notion from the results Human step Confirmed

Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.

Human approval

You decide the role design.

Watch out for

Changing roles can carry employment-law duties. This is not legal advice.

Starter prompt

Here are the outputs this role produces: {list}. Sort each into automate, assist (AI drafts, a person approves) or human. For each, give the reason, the data access needed and the main risk.

Which AI platforms can run it

PlatformStatusWhy
Claude (incl. Claude Code) Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
OpenAI Codex Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Google Antigravity Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
ChatGPT Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Gemini Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).
Perplexity Confirmed No platform-specific connection: the steps run in the tools themselves (browser, upload or built-in).

Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.

What we checked (2026-10-17)

In a March 2026 video, Alex Hormozi suggests writing down, for every hire you are considering, the four to ten things the person would actually do, then asking whether each one could live inside a workflow instead of headcount. That is a practitioner view rather than a study, and this workflow adds two safeguards: the person doing the work today helps write the list, because judgment and relationship work rarely shows on a task list, and the pilot uses timed baselines rather than guesses. See audit a role before you hire.

Set it up

  1. With the person doing the work today, list the role’s outputs, not its duties.
  2. Ask Claude to sort each output into automate, assist (AI drafts, a person approves) or human, with reasons and risks.
  3. Time the current way of doing the automate and assist items, then set up a two-week pilot as ClickUp tasks with a named reviewer.
  4. Write the job description around what remains, and turn the rest into SOPs in Notion.

Changing or removing roles can carry employment-law duties. This isn’t legal or HR advice.
