Formulas
- gross monthly value = hours × (automation % ÷ 100) × hourly cost = $2,160
- review cost = review hours × hourly cost = $450
- monthly net = gross − review cost − subscription = $1,410
- annual net = monthly net × 12; first-year net = annual net − implementation
- payback (months) = implementation ÷ monthly net (if monthly net > 0)
- low/high scenarios scale automation % by 0.5× / 1.5× (capped at 100%)

- Freed hours only create savings if they are redeployed or reduce spend.
- Agents can report success while leaving wrong records; budget for verification and error correction.
