Transparency
A simple formula, visible assumptions.
No black box: the result comes from three numbers per task, which you can see and change. We use the same formula across the whole site.
- Hours per week
Σ ( volume × minutes × automatable share ) ÷ 60- Hours per year
hours per week × 47 working weeks- Value in euros
hours per year × hourly cost
-
Weekly volume
How often the task comes up each week: messages, files, invoices, jobs… Defaults reflect the example business for each industry.
-
Manual time per unit
The average time someone spends on it today, including looking things up and re-keying data. We deliberately use modest durations.
-
Automatable share
The portion of the work actually taken over. It never reaches 100%: sensitive cases, approvals and exceptions stay with your team.
-
Working weeks
We count 47 weeks a year to allow for holidays, bank holidays and quieter periods.
-
Hourly cost
The fully loaded cost of one hour of work, €35/h by default. It only translates hours into a financial order of magnitude.
Method
From estimate to measurement.
The calculator gives you an order of magnitude. The assessment tests it against your reality; production measures it.

What the estimate leaves out
- Set-up time and the learning curve of the first few weeks.
- Indirect gains: fewer errors, faster replies, happier customers.
- Tasks specific to your organisation, which we identify during the assessment.
