Scenario methodology
AI savings as a business case, not a promise
Monthly repetitive hours = people × hours/person/week × 4.333. Hourly employment cost is estimated from salary ÷ 176 monthly hours. Potential gross value = recoverable hours × hourly cost. Net monthly value subtracts the estimated AI/software cost; simple payback divides one-time setup cost by monthly net value.
Calculation flow
Source & scope
Generative AI Era scenario methodology. AI savings depend on the process, adoption, exception handling and implementation design; there is no universal official savings rate.
Assumptions & limits
- Automation percentage is a planning assumption, not a guaranteed result.
- Salary is used as a proxy for employment cost in the model.
- Actual implementation and operating costs should be validated before investment.
Why this tool is different
The tool makes the assumptions explicit and connects recovered hours to net value and payback rather than stopping at an optimistic gross-savings figure.
How it works
Turn repetitive hours into a business case
AI automation becomes easier to discuss when the conversation starts with hours and cost rather than technology. Enter a rough workload and see the potential economic value of automation.
Why this tool exists
This is deliberately connected to our consulting service: after estimating the opportunity, a real assessment can identify which tasks should be automated, what should remain human-controlled, and what the implementation could look like.

Frequently asked questions
How is the saving estimated?
The model estimates repetitive hours, applies the potential automation percentage, then values recovered hours using an estimated hourly employment cost.
Does this guarantee the savings?
No. It is a planning model. Actual savings depend on implementation, process design, adoption and exception handling.
What should happen after the calculation?
Use the estimate as a starting point for an automation assessment. The next step is to examine the real workflow and validate the opportunity.
