Use Case Example

A mid-sized company is evaluating AI-powered document processing. They assume it’s faster – but how much?

With the calculator, they input:

  • 4 employees spending 2 hours/day on the task
  • AI reduces that by 90 minutes each
  • That’s 300 hours/month redirected to valuable work

Result: The investment pays for itself in 4 months.
