// HOW TO INTERPRET

What these numbers actually mean.

"Hours saved" is real, but you have to claim it.

If your team saves 8 hours but uses those 8 hours to do more low-value work, you've banked nothing. The win compounds only when the saved time becomes either: (a) more strategic work, (b) less burnout, or (c) actually leaving on time.

"Cost saved" is opportunity cost, not budget cut.

You won't pay your team less. But you'll get $X more output for the same payroll. Track and report this as "throughput per person," not "hours billed."

The ROI number is a floor, not a ceiling.

It only accounts for time saved. It excludes: faster decision-making, fewer hand-offs, higher-quality output, and the catastrophic cost of not adopting while competitors do. Real ROI is higher than this calculator shows.

The conservative scenario still pays in 2 weeks.

Even at the most pessimistic settings, one person at $20 an hour saving one hour a week, the $27 kit pays for itself in under two weeks. Most teams get there in days.
