Assumptions: read these

  • 46 working weeks per year (holidays and sickness excluded).
  • • Recovered hours are capacity your team gets back, not an automatic cash saving unless you reduce paid hours or redeploy the time.
  • • Low / expected / high model 42% / 70% / 84% of the process being automated.
  • • Rework is modelled as extra hours at the same hourly cost.
  • • These are planning estimates, not guarantees. A discovery call replaces guesses with real numbers.
