From Task Completion to Cash Completion: Designing AI Ops Around Income Events

> “Which specific income event do we want this AI to move—and how will we prove that it did?”

Quick Answer

For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".

Most AI workflows today are optimized around *tasks*—send the email, update the CRM, generate the report. But businesses don’t exist to complete tasks; they exist to generate **revenue** and **profit**.

Key Takeaways:

  • Redesign workflows around income events, not busywork
  • Architect AI Ops so every automation is traceably tied to revenue
  • Prioritize and measure AI work by its cash impact
  • Implement practical patterns and examples in sales, marketing, customer success, and operations
  • “Email sent”

Playbook

1

Identifying the moments that truly affect revenue or margin

3

Measuring success not by tasks done, but by **cash outcomes**

4

**Direct line to revenue**

5

**Better prioritization**

6

**Stronger measurement and accountability**

7

**Strategic differentiation**

Common Pitfalls

  • **Name**: “MQL created”, “Proposal accepted”, “Invoice paid”
  • **Trigger condition**: exact criteria (fields, statuses, thresholds)
  • **Owner**: which team is accountable (Marketing, Sales, CS, Finance)
  • **System of record**: where the event is logged (CRM, billing, support, etc.)
  • **Value impact**: how it relates to revenue or margin

Metrics to Track

“Email sent”

“Proposal generated”

“Ticket closed”

“Call logged”
