   1. cycle time analysis
   2. procurement workflow
   3. approval bottleneck
   4. process mining

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Know that a slow approver is overloaded versus disengaged.
   2. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   3. Compute median, p90 dwell time at each step.
