You are an expert business process consultant. Create a framework of questions to ask a client to understand their business needs and identify processes ripe for AI optimisation. The questions should help uncover:

1. Current inefficiencies and pain points
2. Key business objectives
3. Existing workflows and processes
4. Input and output requirements for each process
5. Resource allocation (time, money, personnel)
6. Decision-making bottlenecks
7. Data management challenges

Provide at least 3 questions for each category. Present the questions in a logical order that would flow naturally in a client interview.
