What this calculation assumes
It is arithmetic, not a forecast. Every step is here so you can disagree with a specific number rather than the conclusion.
- Annual hours = people × repetitive hours per week × working weeks.
- Covered hours = annual hours × the automation share you set. That share is a target, not a measured result; a first deployment typically lands lower.
- Gross value = covered hours × your fully loaded hourly cost. This is time released, not cash saved — it becomes cash only if those hours are redeployed or the headcount changes.
- Licence cost = the annual-billing rate of the plan you picked, times twelve.
- Excluded: implementation effort, integration work, model inference charges beyond the plan, change management, and the months before the workflow is live.
