&lt;p&gt;The real scaling test is whether automation removes coordination work as client volume grows, rather than simply giving staff a better place to track it. I’d watch recurring client reminders, task handoffs, document collection, and billing first, since those are the workflows most likely to expose whether admin headcount can actually stay flat.&lt;/p&gt;
