Each square is a week. Blue weeks run on autopilot.
How the savings are calculated
- Weekly time = minutes per task × times per week × people
- Hours saved = weekly time × automatable share, over 48 working weeks
- Money saved = hours saved × hourly cost
- Payback = automation cost ÷ monthly savings
The real win is often bigger than the number: faster replies to leads, fewer mistakes, and a team that spends its time on work that grows the business.
