Sample input
I run a six-person online education business. We repeatedly publish workshops, onboard instructors, answer refund requests, send partner updates, and close each monthly cohort. Work is tracked across Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, Slack, and Stripe. Instructor onboarding often starts without tax forms or final session details. Refund questions wait for my approval even when they fit our policy. Partner updates sometimes contain old enrollment numbers. I want to keep our current tools, spend no more than five setup hours, and review controls weekly.
