Workflow Automation
Nishi vs the field — every Nishi cell is measured against real organ source at emit time; each gap names the watch contract that will close it.
Nishi vs Zapier and n8n and Temporal and Microsoft Power Automate
Layer 1 · Executive
Where we are. The sovereign workflow engine is real and deep: event-sourced run ledger with per-step retry and crash-resume (R1), exec-organ connector catalog (R3), human approval steps (R4), run observability by ledger replay (R6), a certified console (R7), variables and substitution incl forked argv (R8), conditions (R9), on-failure routing (R10), for-each (R11), versioning with drift witness (R12) and a template gallery (R13); plus the rules engine, tickless RRULE scheduler, reminders, multi-channel send incl physical mail, docgen, never-brick ops pipeline and SSE event stream. Two structural exceeds: zero per-task cost on own stack and tamper-evident never-lose run history. Open: every INBOUND and OUTBOUND door the incumbents are defined by (webhooks, SaaS connectors), the visual canvas and its interaction UX, the NL copilot, RPA and the macro recorder.
Where we need to go. An automation product a non-programmer can drive end to end on owned hardware: a webhook in, a SaaS call out, a canvas to draw it, a copilot to draft it, a recorder to capture it -- with every run still an additive ledger and every step still an organ. Temporal-class durability is already ours; Zapier-class reach is the climb.
The unit. 1 u = one measured session-leg, the estate's shared calibration (graphics R21 in one leg 2026-08-15). Local calibration: R8 through R13 each landed gated GREEN as one leg apiece in the engine lane -- estimates below are relative to those.
Where we are: 13 landed, 8 open. Engine depth at parity with Temporal on the ledger axes; reach and product UX behind Zapier and n8n. Counts measured at emit below this line.
Cost to the doors: 2 u. WA1 inbound webhooks and WA2 the outbound connector call -- the two rungs that turn an internal engine into an integration product.
Cost to a visual product: 5 u. WA3 the canvas emitter, WA4 inline test and edit-in-place, WA5 onboarding and docs -- the Zapier editor bar, measured by the existing ui-judge.
Cost to exceed on reach: 9 u. WA6 the NL-to-flow copilot over the sovereign model, WA7 RPA UI steps and WA8 the record-and-replay recorder -- Power Automate Desktop's category, on our own stack.
Research bar. Zapier is measured on webhooks, 8000-plus app connectors, Copilot builder, editor UX. Theirs: the category definition for reach and editor. Ours: WA1 WA2 WA4 WA6 measured on this page.
Research bar. n8n is measured on open-source node canvas, IF/Switch, loops, AI nodes. Theirs: the open-source canvas reference. Ours: WA3 and WA4.
Research bar. Temporal is measured on durable execution, timers, signals, child workflows, visibility. Theirs: depth of the durable engine. Ours: already matched on the ledger axes; timers and signals remain depth we concede.
Research bar. Power Automate Desktop is measured on RPA, macro recorder, approvals UI. Theirs: the desktop-automation bar. Ours: WA7 and WA8.

| Inbound webhooks (WA1) after R1 | wfh_webhook_accept | An HTTP door that authenticates a signed inbound call, dedups by delivery id, and raises the engine event; gate proves a replayed delivery fires ONCE (R1 dedup) and an unsigned call is refused and recorded | Organ | 1 u |
| Outbound connector call (WA2) after R8 | wfc_connector_call | A connector step that calls an external HTTPS API over the sovereign TLS stack with a declared request shape, captures the response into run vars (R8), and retries under the engine's own policy; gate proves a 5xx is retried then routed on-failure (R10) and a 2xx body lands in a var | Organ | 1 u |
| Canvas emitter (WA3) after R7,R12 | wfu_canvas_emit | The console emits the workflow definition as an editable node canvas (nodes = steps, edges = deps and conditions) from the SAME definition file the engine runs; gate proves canvas round-trips to a byte-identical definition | Organ | 2 u |
| Inline test and edit-in-place (WA4) after WA3 | wfu_inline_test | Run one step from the canvas against a recorded event and show its captured vars; edit a step arg in place and verify the draft without firing (the CLI verify door R12 already exists); gate proves a test run writes a ledger record tagged trial and never advances the live run | Organ | 1.5 u |

| NL-to-flow copilot (WA6) after R12,WA3 | wfl_nl_to_flow | The sovereign model drafts a definition from a sentence; the draft is VERIFIED (R12 verify) before it is shown and a refused draft shows the refusal; gate proves a known prompt yields a definition that passes verify and an impossible prompt yields a refusal, never a half-flow | Organ | 3 u |
| RPA UI step (WA7) after R8 | wfr_ui_step | A step that drives a desktop or browser surface through the estate's own input-abstraction layer (nx_input_abstract) with screenshot evidence per action; gate proves a scripted form fill lands and the evidence frames are in the ledger | Organ | 3 u |
| Record and replay (WA8) after WA7 | wfrec_capture | Capture the operator's actions into a definition the engine replays (the PAD recorder category); gate proves a recorded sequence replays to the same end state via WA7 and a divergence is recorded not hidden | Organ | 3 u |

Layer 3 · Engineering
How this is scored. Every Nishi mark is measured: the generator reads the real organ source on disk and requires the implementing symbol to exist (no self-grading). A watching tag names the organ and symbol contracted to close a gap — the mark flips itself on the next compare beat when that workstream ships, and the
comparewatch- plane row flips with it. The flip is necessary, not sufficient: it proves the symbol exists, never that the capability is good. The bar is the rung's pre-declared done-rule, proven by its gate — a symbol shipped without the behaviour behind it is a defect, and the flip is exactly what makes that defect visible instead of quiet. Competitor marks record documented capability presence — presence, not depth or scale. Adoption is measured too: every measured row carries where its organ stands on the estate's ladder (source → built → promoted → registered → invoked; libraries by importer reach minus validation importers; gates by the execution surfaces that run them). A row is fully adopted only at the top of its ladder; anything short is tagged partial with the exact remedy, so a build nobody promoted can no longer read as shipped. Census stamps: importers asof 1787849099, gate census asof 1787855507 (unix seconds; -1 = census absent).Capability matrix — measured against source

Risk register
| Risk | Likelihood x impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| A connector that writes to an external API is an outbound side effect the ledger must own -- a retry that re-posts is a duplicate order | likely x high | WA2 carries an idempotency key derived from run id plus step id and the gate replays it. |
| A copilot draft that runs without verification ships a hallucinated flow | possible x high | WA6 is verify-before-show by done-rule; the refusal path is a gate tooth, not a hope. |
On these two registers. Rows are declared in the domain's plan file and carry the debt id, which is the join key back to the sovereign debt plane — that plane, not this page, is the authority on state. Reconciling them automatically (the regen reading the plane and refreshing these rows) is a named, owed rung; until it lands, treat an id here as a pointer to look up, not a status to trust.
Honest verdict. The coverage above is capability presence measured against source — not depth, scale, or polish, where mature rivals may lead. Exceeds are claimed only where a mechanism backs them. Every open gap is a watch contract: it names the organ and symbol that closes it, and this page flips the cell itself when that workstream ships.
