Value
See if one workflow's AI is worth it, with an owner and review date.
Every figure, and how it is computed
- Hours saved a year
- Tasks a week × minutes saved × work weeks a year ÷ 60. Entered by a named person.
- Value a year
- Hours saved × share of saved time put to work × hourly cost. Says "estimated by" its authors.
- AI cost a year
- Ledger cost since the start × 365 ÷ days measured; with none, the 30 days before. Never entered.
- First-year cost
- AI cost a year plus other first-year costs, such as setup and training, entered by a person.
- Return on investment
- (Value a year − first-year cost) ÷ first-year cost. Not shown until every input is entered.
- Before and after
- AI calls, cost, successes, attempts and cost per success, for equal days on each side of the start.
- Due and overdue
- Due from six days before the review date; overdue after it, until someone decides.
