Put numbers behind your decision

How much more could your team achieve?

Less repetitive work, more time for valuable tasks. Enter your data to compare team capacity, commercial potential and results after solution costs.

The starting point keeps your team and working hours unchanged. In the initial scenario, recovered capacity goes to sellable work, quality and customer service. Only count an expense you would actually stop paying as a cash saving.

Start with an example:

Fictional, editable examples. Initial percentages and prices are neither observed results nor an offer from Olduvia. Calculations run in your browser and are not transmitted.

1. The work that repeats
2. Investment to evaluate

Automation applies to current processing time; review time is then deducted. Avoidable costs should only include overtime, external services or hiring costs you would actually stop paying. The margin must deduct the variable costs of new sales without deducting costs already included here a second time.

The initial calculation uses editable assumptions: 60% of available time for sellable work, €80/hour, €5,000/month additional demand and a 40% margin. It includes 3 months of adoption and 8 initial internal hours. Review advanced settings: these are not observed results or an offer.

How you would use that time
Adoption and internal effort

Initial hours are valued at the entered labour cost as an economic cost, even if they do not involve an additional payment. Monthly internal costs should only include new monitoring or support expenses not already counted in the fee, per-task review or margin.

Process productivity potential

More tasks per hour in the process analysed. Revenue also depends on demand and the ability to deliver that work.

With the same hours for this process

Potential capacity if sufficient work exists and review assumptions hold. Not a guaranteed sales increase.

A sensitivity adjustment, not a probability of success. It does not change the solution's costs.

Released capacity / month
Potentially avoidable cost / monthOnly hours with an avoidable cash outlay.
Additional revenue / monthLimited by sellable time and available demand.
Net economic result / steady monthAvoidable cost + additional margin − fee − monthly internal costs.

The labour value of capacity is not added to return. Sales require demand and delivery capacity. Monthly metrics show steady operation; cumulative results include adoption and internal costs. This models one process, not overall business productivity.

View formulas and assumptions

Each month applies utilisation × min(1, month / adoption months); with 0 months, full utilisation starts immediately. Hours and sales are recalculated within the demand cap. Monthly result = avoidable cost + new sales contribution − fee − monthly internal costs. Initial economic investment = setup + initial internal hours × labour cost. Cumulative result = sum of monthly results − initial investment. 12-month ROI = annual cumulative result / (initial investment + 12 × monthly costs). Payback interpolates the month when the cumulative result reaches zero.

Additional tasks use only the current process hours, keeping its total time and review assumptions. They represent potential technical capacity, not sales. Do not add this metric to recovered hours or revenue: they express the same improvement in different ways. Do not add simulations sharing hours or demand.

When could the total investment pay off?

24 months

Cumulative economic result after setup, initial internal effort and monthly costs. Adoption increases linearly until the chosen month; full monthly costs apply from month 1. Excludes tax and financing.

After implementation

Every month,
evidence you can review.

The calculator explores a possibility. The monthly report compares it with actual use: time, exceptions, work brought to invoice and costs. We agree on the relevant indicators for your process.

12 → 6 minutes per task. Both measurements include review and corrections. A 50% reduction in processing time for this example.

Invoiced and collected, separately.

Both amounts relate to the €1,200 brought to invoice. They are not added together as separate benefits.

These figures illustrate the report format; they are not client results. An actual report links each figure to records and explains its attribution and limits. Net return also requires solution costs and applicable margins; invoicing alone is not proof of return.

Plus: exceptions, corrections, issues resolved and priorities for the following month. Information you can use to decide whether to continue, adjust or expand.
