Businesses are mostly just complicated cybernetic programs that try to turn money into more money. But it's like shitty spaghetti code where you have to understand years of debt to understand why A needs to talk to B, C, D and process the results into some new form E. Maybe they do this manually with a spreadsheet and arcane business rules passed down from generation to generation or maybe those rules are encoded in some awful program written twenty years ago that is terrible by any modern measure but is bespoke tailed to their shop/industry/regulatory environment. You could probably automate this process but it requires a holistic understanding of the whole system which no one may even have, much less someone with the technical skills to automate. Plus it's like refactoring spaghetti code with little to no documentation, no specification except the current output, no tests, and likely involves a some combination of multiple technologies and manual human-powered processing.
