Without automation, the 10 steps was good enough. but not keeping a human involved, all the human decisions had to be mapped. <br><br><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 10:39 AM Greg Hellings <<a href="mailto:greg.hellings@gmail.com">greg.hellings@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 10:35 AM Dudeck, John <<a href="mailto:John.Dudeck@sim.org" target="_blank">John.Dudeck@sim.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><u></u>
