The AI business-case
reality check.
Separate recovered capacity from cash savings. Then account for implementation, ongoing costs, and the time it takes to get there.
Your modeled first-year result
Net cash benefit, after all modeled costs
The first-year case is positive, but depends on converting capacity into avoided expense.
Follow the economics
Cash-flow model before tax and discounting, excluding revenue growth and cost escalation. Payback is estimated monthly over a maximum of ten years.
What if less turns into cash?
| Cash realization | First-year net |
|---|---|
| 0% | ($27,000) |
| 15% | ($12,744) |
| 30% | $1,512 |
| 60% | $30,024 |
Methodology
How the calculator works
Capacity: people × eligible weekly hours × working weeks × time reduction × adoption × (1 − review share). Multiply net hours by hourly cost to value the capacity.
Cash: multiply capacity value by the cash-realization share. Deduct recurring costs for the steady-state net benefit. The first year also applies the benefit ramp and deducts one-time implementation costs.
Benefits build during the rollout; costs begin in month one and remain constant. Cash realization is the share of recovered capacity that you expect to turn into an expense reduction.
