What is the value of this over a checklist?

  I would argue that it _is_ a checklist. The difference is that it's a more gradual entry to automate the task. One could, for example, replace any item with a script/program invocation, while leaving the others untouched. It's an intelligent, piecemeal step towards automation. I would also add that in really critical tasks, one could automate _either_ the item, or it's verification. Sometimes it's easier to check that something is correct than to do it-- or vice-versa.
