Ministry workflow scorecard

The ministry workflow scorecard helps staff decide where church AI should start. Score each workflow for repetition, clarity, risk, available source context, and approval fit.

Workflow score

Workflow score = repetition + source quality + draft value + approval clarity - sensitivity risk.

Start first with high-repetition, high-source-quality, low-risk workflows.

Delay workflows that include counseling, crisis, children, finance, or ambiguous pastoral discernment.

AI ministry calculator output = safest first workflow plus next review milestone.

Inputs to collect

  • Workflow repetition
  • Source context quality
  • Draft value
  • Approval clarity
  • Sensitivity risk

Outputs

  • First workflow recommendation
  • Risk notes
  • Approval owner
  • Next measurement checkpoint

How to use this tool

  1. Step 1

    Score value and repetition

    Give higher scores to tasks that happen weekly and require similar preparation each time.

  2. Step 2

    Score risk separately

    Subtract for sensitive data, pastoral ambiguity, child-specific content, finance, or counseling context.

  3. Step 3

    Pick the safest valuable workflow

    Choose a workflow where Collie can draft useful work and staff can clearly approve or reject it.

Review checklist

  • Is the workflow repeatable?
  • Is the source data reliable?
  • Can a person approve the result quickly?
  • Does the workflow avoid protected categories?

What makes a workflow too risky for church AI?

Workflows involving counseling, confessional content, specific children, finance decisions, crisis care, or unresolved pastoral judgment should stay outside AI automation.
