Estimate one workflow. Leave anything unknown blank — results that depend on it will say “not yet estimated”.
| Question | Your answer |
|---|---|
| Hours per week on this work (team total — don't multiply by team size again) | |
| Working weeks per year | |
| Loaded hourly cost ($/hour, wages + taxes/benefits) | |
| Share of the work you believe could be removed (%) | |
| Share of recovered capacity that becomes real cash saving (%) — enter 0 if time-only | |
| Ramp-up months before benefits start |
Hours = weekly hours × weeks × recovery share × (active months ÷ 12). Capacity value = hours × hourly cost. Cash saving = capacity × realization share. System costs and ROI require a scoped estimate — an unknown cost is never treated as free. This planner deliberately makes no revenue claims; new-sales modeling needs a distinct-capacity confirmation and contribution margin.
