To **choose the first process for an AI agent**, look for high volume, clear rules, and cheap mistakes. All three matter; two out of three usually produces a disappointing first attempt.

## Why the first choice decides the rest

A poor first deployment ends the conversation about a second.

- A process with too many exceptions, so the agent is often wrong
- A process where errors are expensive, so nobody trusts it
- A process with too little volume to demonstrate anything
- No documentation, so the agent answers from general knowledge

## A scoring approach

| Factor            | Favours                                             |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Volume**        | Enough repetition for the effect to be visible      |
| **Clarity**       | Rules that can be stated without endless exceptions |
| **Cost of error** | Mistakes that are noticed and corrected easily      |
| **Documentation** | Material already exists, or can be written quickly  |
| **Structure**     | Defined phases the agent can move records through   |

## How to start in Jestor

1. Pick a process in **Jestor** scoring well on all five factors.
2. Attach the documentation as the agent's knowledge base.
3. Select only the fields it should fill — status, priority, category.
4. Add a confirmation checkbox if any action would be hard to reverse.
5. Add a classification field so the agent records how much it contributed.

## Why choose Jestor for a first AI deployment?

**Jestor** allows the agent to be added to an existing process without rebuilding it, which means the first deployment is an experiment rather than a project.

Because the agent classifies its own contribution, the decision to expand to a second process rests on a measured distribution rather than on an impression.
