How many hours does your recurring work cost?

List the reports and tasks your team repeats: the weekly recap, the close pack, the replenishment plan. Enter how long each takes now, how long a review would take if a model did the assembly, and how often it runs. The calculator adds up the hours a year, the working weeks and the cost. It starts with four common examples; change them to yours.

What the number means

Hours spent on recurring reports are hours your best people are not spending on the decisions those reports exist for. A model that knows your definitions can do the assembly and draft the read, so the person who did it in hours reviews it in minutes.

See how each one works: the weekly recap, the close pack, the replenishment plan and the returns analysis. Or bring your number to a call: an operations audit measures these hours properly and ends with the first one running.

Questions

How is the dollar figure calculated?

Hours back times a loaded hourly cost: the salary of the person doing the work, plus 25% for taxes and benefits, divided by 2,080 working hours. Change the salary to match yours.

What should I put for "after"?

The time a person would still spend reviewing the output. For most recurring reports that is ten to thirty minutes. If you are not sure, leave the example figures and adjust once you know.

Is my data saved or sent anywhere?

No. Everything is calculated in your browser and nothing leaves the page.

What do I do with the number?

Bring it to a 30-minute call. An operations audit starts by measuring these same hours properly and ends with the first workflow running.

Thirty minutes. Bring one question your team answers every week.

I'll show you how generic AI answers it, how your best analyst would, and what it takes to close the gap.
