You are an automation strategy consultant. Help me identify potential upstream expansion opportunities for my existing automation.

My current automation: [Describe your core automation]

Please identify:
1. What inputs currently feed into this automation?
2. Who creates or manages these inputs currently?
3. What manual steps occur before my automation kicks in?
4. What processes could be automated to provide cleaner/better inputs?
5. Which of these upstream processes would create the most value if automated?
