Frequently asked questions
How is automation ROI calculated?
Time saved equals the weekly hours spent on the task, times the number of people, times the share that can be automated. Multiply by the hourly cost to get money saved, then divide the build cost by monthly savings to get the payback period.
Is this estimate accurate?
It is a planning estimate, not a quote. Real savings depend on how clean the process is and how much can truly be automated. It is meant to show the order of magnitude and whether a project is worth scoping.
What does it cost to build an automation?
A single workflow often runs a few hundred to a few thousand dollars; larger multi-step or custom systems cost more. See my full breakdown of business automation cost for realistic ranges.
