What is this workflow costing you?

Build an editable business case in a few minutes. See capacity, running costs and optional cash savings separately. No email required.

The estimate updates as you edit. Starting inputs are examples.

01 / Choose the work

02 / Describe today

Count active work, including rework. Use a weighted average for simple and complex items; waiting time is a separate measure.

03 / Model the change

Include exception handling in remaining work. Add only extra review and upkeep here to avoid counting them twice. The starting 50% is an illustration, not a forecast.

04 / Put a value on it

Enter your expected third-party costs; zero is a starting input, not a promise of free running costs. Support for the agreed implementation is included for 12 months. Use the same GST basis for all costs.

Optional care covers separately agreed proactive work. It is not required to receive the included first-year support.

Will this reduce actual spending?

Examples: overtime or an external processing fee you will stop paying. Releasing salaried time does not by itself reduce payroll. Cash and capacity views overlap; do not add them.

How the calculation works

Monthly hours = weekly items × 52 ÷ 12 × active minutes ÷ 60, or known weekly hours × 52 ÷ 12. Released hours = current effort − remaining effort − extra review and upkeep. Capacity value = released hours × loaded hourly cost. Net capacity value = capacity value − running costs. Net cash saving = genuinely avoided spending − running costs. Payback = implementation estimate ÷ positive monthly net value. No payback is shown for zero or negative value.

Revenue, churn reduction, working capital and risk reduction are excluded. Measure those separately using observed outcomes and contribution margin; do not combine overlapping benefits.
