I might test waters saying ...do you think it is worth exploring if automation is possible in this area? Maybe that will allow them to focus on more human intelligence and analytics tasks? If they are receptive ... I am happy to look around for any possible solutions that might help you. Will let you know if I find anything that might interest you. If my boss / other team sound comfortable I might share snippets or demo a possible solution a week later. Otherwise if the response is not encouraging I will keep it to myself.
