FAQ
How the math works
- How is annual savings calculated?
- Hours wasted per week × effective hourly cost × 52 weeks. We don't compound or reinvest — it's the simplest version of the math, on purpose.
- What does 'payback period' assume?
- We use a representative starter-build engagement cost of $3,000. Once an automation ships, the savings start immediately and the payback period is the number of days until cumulative savings equal that build cost.
- Is the build cost really $3,000?
- It's a representative midpoint, not a quote. Some workflows are smaller; some are larger. We give a real quote after a free audit — no commitment.
- What hourly rate should I use?
- Use the loaded labor rate of whoever actually does the manual task: their salary plus benefits, or their freelance rate. If unsure, $35–$75/hr is a reasonable starting band for SMB operators.
