Questions

How accurate is this estimate?

It's a planning-grade estimate, not a quote. It assumes a fixed percentage of the task becomes automatable (adjustable in the calculator) and doesn't account for one-off integration complexity. Treat the payback period as a ballpark to decide whether a proper automation audit is worth your time.

What counts as the 'automation cost'?

The one-time cost to design, build and test the automation — not the ongoing running cost, which is a separate input. If you don't know this number yet, our free Automation Audit gives a more grounded estimate against your actual process.

Why is this free?

It's the fastest way for us to show, not tell, how we think about automation ROI. If the numbers look worth pursuing, the next step is the Automation Audit or a direct conversation.
