That's exactly what I would have done given such a task if there was no good way to automate it.

Many people do think exactly like that, but now realize that the output of such a task is often an input to another one. Garbage in, garbate out applies just as much to decision processes as to computers.

Most computer programs are just very quickly run decision processes, especially in the MIS subfield.

The task is "find out who is not providing value"

Your solution is to say they all provide value?
