City of North MiamiHR Document Routing
“We’re chasing paperwork around the building and updating a spreadsheet when we find it.” — Workshop participant, HR Department
Before We Advise,
We Build.
The AI Made This methodology does not live in slide decks. It lives in documented, operational systems built during the actual workshop — in front of the staff who will use them.
The City of North Miami HR Department described a problem every municipal HR team knows: personnel action requests moving through five departments on paper, tracked in a shared Excel file that nobody had time to update. When an employee called to ask where their promotion paperwork was, HR was guessing.
The brief was simple: make the invisible visible. Show every PAR’s current stage, who owns it, how long it has been sitting, and where it is overdue — without adding work for the staff doing the routing.
“AI is a tool for building resilient systems, not just for increasing speed.”— The AIMTB Operating Principle
Why This Project Matters
- It proves the methodology works before we ask a client to trust it
- It replaces a manual process staff actually hated doing
- It closes the gap between “AI matters” and “here is what AI produces”
- It becomes the floor — not the ceiling — for what automation can do next
Paper That Disappears
Into the Building.
Personnel Action Requests are the paperwork backbone of any HR department — covering new hires, promotions, transfers, pay changes, separations, and reclassifications. Every one of them needs to route through multiple departments before it is complete.
At North Miami, that routing happened manually. On paper. Tracked in Excel. Updated only when someone remembered to update it.
A Living Tracker.
Not Another Spreadsheet.
Working directly from the HR team’s description of their actual routing workflow, we built a fully interactive Personnel Action Request tracking system during the workshop session — no vendor procurement, no IT ticket, no months-long implementation.
The tool maps exactly how PARs move through the organization: from the moment a department submits one to the moment it is archived. Every stage is visible. Every delay is flagged automatically. Every document has a clear owner.
7-Stage Routing Pipeline
Intake → HR Review → Department Approval → Processing → Finance → Final Authorization → Archive. Each stage maps to a real owner and a defined SLA window.
Live Dashboard with KPIs
Real-time counts of active PARs, documents awaiting action, overdue requests, monthly completions, and average days open. The kind of visibility that used to require a phone call.
Automatic Overdue Flags
Any PAR open more than 7 days triggers a visual flag — no manual checking required. Supervisors can see at a glance what is stalled and who owns it.
Search + Filter by Stage
HR staff can search by name, PAR ID, or department, and filter by any routing stage. Pipeline cards at the top show document counts per stage at a glance.
Detail Panel with Timeline
Click any record to see the full routing history — where it has been, where it is, and who owns each stage. One place to answer every status question.
Human Approval Gates
Every stage transition requires a deliberate staff action: Advance, Return, or Flag. No document moves without a person approving it. Accountability built in by design.
“The sessions weren’t theoretical. By day two we had working mockups of our actual workflows — permit tracking, 311 queues, PAR routing — built around our real challenges. Staff left knowing exactly what AI could do for them.”— Pilot Participant, City of North Miami
Try It.
This is the PAR Routing Tracker built for the City of North Miami HR Department. Fully interactive — click any row, advance a stage, submit a new PAR. Not a mockup of a mockup. The real thing.
Fully interactive — click any record to view routing timeline, advance stages, or submit a new PAR. Built live during the 2-day workshop pilot.
Human Resources · City of North MiamiThe Tool Is the Argument.
Government AI adoption stalls at the credibility gap. Leadership is interested. Staff is skeptical. Vendors promise transformation. Nobody shows up with something that works on Tuesday.
The PAR Tracker exists to close that gap. It was not built as a pitch. It was built as a proof — that real workflows can be mapped, digitized, and made visible without a six-month procurement cycle and a seven-figure budget.
“The most sophisticated workflow tools fail without organizational mandates and staff buy-in. But you cannot get buy-in for something nobody can see. This is what makes the mockup-first approach work: people react to what they can touch.”— AIMTB Methodology Note
