v0.41.0
July 11, 2026
The Automation Backlog is born: the "automation candidates" of your process maps stop being a suggestion that gets lost and become tracked initiatives — with costs, planned date, owner and external reference — governed by a dedicated flow all the way to the measured verification of the savings achieved. The "measure → automate → prove" loop now applies to the single initiative too. Contains a database migration.

Feature
From candidate to tracked decision
"Create task" right where the idea is born. Every automation candidate (map cockpit Diagnostics) now has a button that turns it into an initiative, with cost and expected saving pre-filled. You can do the same from the what-if scenario (one task for the whole scenario or one per selected node), from the AI Analysis report, or by hand for ideas born outside the metrics. Candidates also gain memory: one with an initiative in progress shows an "In progress" badge, a dismissed one leaves the ranking instead of coming back forever.

Feature
A system flow governs the initiatives
Every initiative is a FlowSharp item. On first use, the "Automation Backlog" flow is created automatically (FlowSharp category, System badge): Proposed → Planned → In progress → Live → Verified, with Dismissed as the exit. Assignee, notifications and history work like any other item — FlowSharp using FlowSharp. You can customize it (add intermediate states, rename), but key states cannot be deleted and the system flow can be neither archived nor deleted.

Feature
Measured verification of the savings
"Prove ROI" for the single initiative. When the automation is Live, verification compares the cost frozen at task creation with the current cost measured from the map: the realized saving is a number, not an opinion. Expected and realized live side by side on the task, with measured and estimated always kept distinct. Initiatives without a metric anchor keep the manual declared verification.

Feature
"Automation" page: the transformation plan
Global cross-map view (new menu entry, premium feature): all the tenant’s initiatives with a rollup of expected, realized and invested amounts. On each initiative you can log incurred costs, planned date and external code (PM/ERP reference), and jump to the source item or map. In each map’s cockpit, the new Automation panel shows that map’s initiatives with verification one click away.

Improvement
More readable item list
When an item has a title, the title leads the row; the technical identifier moves below it, smaller and dimmed.
