Deconstruct Your Workflows into Structured Specifications¶

Turn implicit workflows into structured specifications you can build from. You'll deconstruct two real-world workflows—one Collaborative AI, one Deterministic Automation—using the 5-question framework to surface discrete steps, decision points, data flows, context needs, and failure modes hiding inside each process. Then apply the same framework to your own workflow, producing a Workflow Definition that becomes your blueprint for Step 3 (Build).

Objectives¶

• Apply the 5-question deconstruction framework to break down a workflow into detailed steps, surfacing the decision points, data flows, context needs, and failure modes that are often invisible in day-to-day execution
• Generate a structured Workflow Definition that captures every step with sufficient detail to serve as a build-ready specification
• Compare the deconstruction output of two workflow types (Collaborative AI vs. Deterministic Automation) to identify how step structure, decision complexity, and context needs differ between them
