Formula

How the estimate is calculated

Eligible hours = weekly volume x minutes per task, scaled by company scope.

Potential savings = eligible hours x the task AI share.

Adjusted savings = potential savings x rollout adoption x confidence.

Net savings = adjusted labor value plus avoided rework, minus AI cost and setup where shown.
