AI Automation ROI Workbench

How to use AI Automation ROI Workbench

A workflow that runs quickly can still need expensive review. Include human oversight, failed-item rework and software charges, then make the cash-saving assumption explicit instead of treating saved hours as revenue.

1. Measure manual and pilot human handling time using the same task definition.
2. Include review, error frequency, extra rework, software and setup cost.
3. Choose a defensible cash realization assumption and inspect negative benefits or no-payback outcomes.

Good to know

• The model describes steady monthly assumptions, not a causal proof of savings. Seasonality, financing, tax and unentered costs are excluded.
• Time savings create capacity. They do not imply salary savings, employee replacement, additional sales or income; cash realization can correctly be zero.
• Estimates use floating-point arithmetic, rounded for display. Inputs must be finite nonnegative decimals at most 1 billion (whole counts at most 1 million); nonzero inputs below 0.000000001 and results outside the supported range are rejected.
• Runs locally without AI model calls, network requests or saved input. Text is limited to 8,000 characters per field and lists to 100 nonempty lines. Downloads contain your text; review them before sharing.
