It decides the routine. You keep the exceptions.
A business runs on a few loops that repeat every day. In each one the brain takes the decision that is the same every time, a person does the physical act, and only the odd case reaches you.
- BuyingThe brain decides
What to order, from whom, at what price, before it runs out.
Your hand keepsThe call to a new supplier.
- StockThe brain decides
What came in, what went out, what is missing and since when.
Your hand keepsThe count, by hand, once.
- SettlementThe brain decides
Every sale against every payment that reached the account, and the gap, by the hour.
Your hand keepsAn unexplained gap.
- PeopleThe brain decides
Who was present, what each hand did, what it cost.
Your hand keepsHiring, and the hard conversation.
- The day's numbersThe brain decides
Yesterday's profit, on your phone, before you ask.
Your hand keepsReading it.
- CamerasThe brain decides
Watching for the moments that matter, not the hours that do not.

- CustomersThe brain decides
What was promised, what was delivered, who to write to and what to say.
Your hand keepsYour yes on every outward word.
- CostingThe brain decides
What each thing you sell really costs this week, as prices move.
Your hand keepsThe recipe.
- MoneyThe brain decides
What is due, what is owed, what is safe to spend this week.
