Key Iris Concepts

​

Engagement

A scoped consulting project for a client or workspace.

​

Stakeholder

A participant whose perspective contributes evidence about the process, decisions, exceptions or outcomes.

​

Interview evidence

Evidence captured through AI-led stakeholder interviews, including workflow descriptions, pain points, decisions and workarounds.

​

Screen observation

Consent-based evidence of how tasks are performed on screen, useful for granular activity details that may be difficult to explain verbally.

​

Activity

A meaningful unit of work in the reconstructed process. Avoid treating every click or vague action as a separate activity.

​

Variant

A materially different path through the process.

​

Rework loop

Work that returns to an earlier step because information, quality or approval requirements were not satisfied.

​

Handoff

Transfer of work or responsibility between people, teams or systems.

​

Finding

A validated statement about the current state and its consequence.

​

Opportunity

A potential intervention supported by evidence. It may involve process redesign, integration, automation or AI.

​

Recommendation

A consultant-reviewed course of action that accounts for evidence, feasibility, value, risk and client context.

​

Report Composer

The Iris workspace for assembling validated evidence, findings and recommendations into the final consulting deliverable.
