Before AI — minutes per task After AI — minutes per task Include prompting, setup and actual completion. Extra human review — minutes per task Checking, correcting and exceptions not included above.

2. Your planning estimate

Net value per month, after recurring software cost—

Net hours recovered / month—

First-month net, including setup—

12-month estimate, incl. setup—

Setup payback—

Subtract the time spent after AI plus review from the original time. Then subtract monthly tool cost from the value of the remaining time.

Conservative scenario: 25% less saved time (or 25% more time lost)—

This is a scenario calculator, not a forecast. It does not measure revenue won, demand, staff utilization or opportunity cost automatically. A saved hour only turns into cash if the business converts it into useful work or avoids a real expense.
