( THE LEAK )
What is it actually costing you?
Every business leaks hours to work that a system should be doing. Four numbers you already know will tell you what those hours cost. We supply the arithmetic — none of the inputs.
[ 01 ] YOUR NUMBERS
Anyone whose week includes this repetitive work.
Copying between systems, chasing approvals, re-keying, reporting.
Salary plus everything else — not salary ÷ 2080.
Your judgement, not our estimate. If a competent new hire could follow written steps to do it, count it.
[ 02 ] WHAT IT ADDS UP TO
$81,120
per year — in reclaimable loaded cost
- hours / year
- 1,248
- hours / week, team
- 24.0
- full-time equivalent
- 0.60
- hours back, per person, per week
- 3.0
[ 03 ] THE ARITHMETIC
No benchmarks, no industry averages, nothing you did not type:
hours = people × hours/week × 52 × rules-based sharecost = hours × loaded cost per hourFull-time equivalent divides reclaimable hours by a 2,080-hour year. That is the only number we brought.
What this is not.
This is arithmetic, not an audit. It does not know your systems, your constraints, or which of these hours are actually worth reclaiming — some are judgement work wearing a process costume. Finding that difference is the engagement.
Worth two weeks to find out for real?
The AI Roadmap maps where the hours actually go, what a system would replace, and what it costs to build. Fixed scope. The blueprint is yours either way.
Or take the numbers with you.
