Workflows, and what happened when we ran them
Built, executed, and broken on purpose. Every number came from a real run against a local test stack using synthetic data — never a real business and never a real customer.
Workflow
Website form submission → row in a spreadsheet
A form submission arrives on a webhook, is normalised, checked for duplicates, and appended as a row. Built and executed against a local test stack using synthetic leads only.
Workflow
Store order → fulfilment sheet, with the line-item cost trap
A paid order is fanned out into one row per line item. The purpose of this test was to measure how consumption scales with line items, because that is where the cost surprise lives.
Workflow
What actually happens when an automation breaks
We took a working workflow and broke it deliberately in several different ways to document what each failure looks like from the outside — and in particular whether anything tells you.
