What is one repetitive workflow actually costing you?
Put in four numbers. Get an estimate of the hours and labor dollars you could reclaim in a year — and how quickly a typical engagement pays for itself.
Your workflow
Pick one repetitive workflow — report writing, quoting, intake, scheduling — and describe it below.
Structured capture plus AI first drafts. A person reviews and approves.
20 hrs
960 hrs
$81,600
2–4 weeks
Cumulative reclaimed value — first 12 months
What this usually looks like
At 5 people spending 8 hours a week on the same task, the constraint is usually consistency, not speed. A moderate automation typically means structured capture at the source plus an AI first draft your team reviews — the way we built the field-report workflow for a Fort Lauderdale forensic engineering firm. See that result.
Estimate only. Annualised over 48 working weeks. The 30/50/70% automation figures are planning assumptions, not guarantees. Payback is measured against a typical $3,250–$6,000 audit-plus-first-build engagement and excludes software licences, internal change management, and ongoing retainer costs.
The math behind the numbers
How is the estimate calculated?
Weekly reclaimed hours = people on the task x hours per person per week x the automation percentage you select. That is annualised over 48 working weeks and multiplied by the fully loaded hourly cost you enter. Payback is that weekly dollar value measured against a typical $3,250–$6,000 audit-plus-first-build engagement.
Are the 30/50/70% automation figures guaranteed?
No. They are planning assumptions used to frame a range, not measured outcomes. Real automation coverage depends on how documented and repeatable the workflow is, and is confirmed during the AI Opportunity Audit.
What does the estimate exclude?
It excludes software licences, internal change management time, ongoing retainer costs, and any revenue upside. It measures reclaimed labor value only.
What happens after I run the numbers?
Book a Recon Call and we pressure-test your inputs against the workflow itself — what is actually automatable, what it costs to build, and what the realistic timeline looks like.
