How our calculator assumptions compare to published research on AI automation.
70% automation efficiency
McKinsey estimates 60–70% of employee tasks have automatable components. We use the midpoint for conservative estimates.
1.5× error cost multiplier
Fixing manual errors typically costs 1.5–3× the original task time. We use 1.5× (the lower bound) to keep estimates realistic.
$15K–$50K implementation range
Based on our project history. Simple automations start at ~$15K; multi-system integrations with custom AI scale up to $50K+.
3–6 month payback
Deloitte reports AI automation projects achieve payback in 6–12 months on average. Our clients typically see faster returns.
