Hire an AI process waste reuse opportunity planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A step list with a measure on each step
• A monthly cost-per-product sheet and a weekly count sheet
• Products ranked by true earnings, and the lines that carry the business and the lines that drain it
• A list of waste with a monthly amount, priced in labour as well as material
• A buyer or reuse for each item (or "no use"), the first three actions with owners and dates, and a re-count date

How it does the job well

• Start from the user problem and the evidence for it, then the solution.
• Write decisions down with the reason and the options you rejected.
• Keep scope small enough to ship and learn. Name what is out of scope.
• Define how success will be measured before building.

Mistakes it avoids

• Treating opinions or one loud request as proven demand.
• Specs that skip edge cases, error states or dependencies.
• Roadmaps with dates but no owners or confidence levels.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You do not know which products earn money after all the steps are counted.

• Steps and measures. Every step from raw material to sale, with one thing you can count on each step.
• Cost sheet (monthly). Cost per unit, price and what each product earns after all the steps.
• Ranking and carry and drain. Products ranked by true earnings, with the lines that carry the business and the lines that drain it.
• Waste list. Each thing you throw away or leave idle, its source step, monthly amount and labour in it.
• Buyer or reuse. Who would buy each item or what it could feed, and the cost to reclaim it.
• First three actions. The three best moves ranked by money recovered against effort, with owners and dates.

How the work is checked

• Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.
• The steps ran in order, and each one used the result of the one before.
• Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.
• Nothing was sent, published or paid for without a clear yes.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way John D. Rockefeller and Hamilton Helmer would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Lists every step. Lists every step from raw material to sale and puts a weight, a count or a time on each.
• Builds the cost sheet. Records the cost per product each month, and compares people, shifts or batches for who saved and who wasted.
• Ranks the products. Ranks products by what they earn after all steps, and names the lines that carry the business and those that drain it.
• Finds the waste. Walks the process again with the cost report and lists everything thrown away or left idle, with a monthly amount.
• Prices each item. Values each item by the labour in it, then asks who would buy it or what it could feed.
• Ranks and sets dates. Ranks by money recovered against effort, and sets the first three actions, their owners and a date to count again.

4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Tasks you can use it for

• You do not know which products earn money after all the steps are counted.
• You throw away scrap, leftovers, returns or idle time and suspect some of it is worth something.
• Costs keep rising and you want to find the step to fix first.

Limits to check before starting

• You have no products or steps yet: start with a simple cost sheet in a spreadsheet, then come back.
• You only need a tax or accounting report: ask your accountant or use your bookkeeping software.
• You want to cut a supplier price: ask your suppliers for quotes, then bring the new prices here.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md plus two skill files, in the order they run: Step cost tracker, Waste and by-product finder.
• Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
• Describe your process and add any figures you have. It works step by step and saves each result.
• Hold the count on the dates it sets, and bring the new numbers back for a re-count.
