More and more people are looking at Claude Code for non-technical use cases. Claude Code handles the code, but what does a human still need to do?

A fractional COO friend has been watching some Claude Code webinars and is ready to start playing with it.

One of his first projects is to use it for invoice generation. We spent a few minutes on whether Claude Code could do this. Yep, it certain could code something. But what else does it need to do this well?

Accurate timesheet data. Up-to-date client information and rates. Expense policies. Receipts. Knowing where the data lives and whether there are processes behind it so that you can trust it to be correct and up to date.

All of this was his bread and butter as an operator, and it's easy to forget this doesn't come easy to everyone.

Once Claude Code handles the coding, what remains is right in an ops person's wheelhouse.
