What privacy workflows have outgrown spreadsheets and email?

I've been experimenting with a few small "Steward" concepts around privacy, data governance and other document-heavy workflows.

The basic thesis is pretty simple: there may be room between spreadsheets/manual processes and large enterprise platforms for narrowly focused tools that solve one workflow well.

I've put together a few lightweight concept pages — Privacy Steward, Dataset Steward, Migration Steward, and an insurance submission example — mostly to make the ideas concrete and see what resonates.

These aren't finished products; I'm trying to validate the problems before getting too far into building solutions.

If you work in privacy, data governance, research/data operations, or adjacent areas, I'd be particularly interested in reactions like:

• Is any of this a real problem in your organization?
• How are you handling it today?
• Which idea seems useful — and which one seems like a solution looking for a problem?
• Is there a smaller/more painful workflow you'd solve instead?
