The Automation
Opportunity Scorecard

Find the hidden payroll in your business — what you're paying humans every year to do robot work. This is the same first pass we run in every paid discovery. Every number below is yours; the math just adds it up.

STEP 1

List & price your five most repetitive workflows

Follow-up chasing, reporting, scheduling, invoicing, data re-entry, status updates — anything done the same way every week. Loaded rate = salary + taxes + benefits + overhead per hour. If it's your time, use what an hour of your time is really worth.

annual cost = ( runs/mo × hours per run × loaded $/hr + error cost $/mo ) × 12
STEP 2

Losing revenue to slow follow-up or dropped leads?

Only fill this in if you can point to a real leak — deals that die because nobody got back to them in time.

Recovered / yr
We assume you'd recover about 80% of what's slipping — not all of it. (lost deals × $ per deal × 12 × 0.8)
STEP 3

Score automation fit for your #1 workflow

Rate each signal 1–5. This tells you whether your biggest number is actually buildable — value without fit is a project that fights you.

( sum of five signals ) × 4 =
rate all five
STEP 4

Read your verdict

Honest math, both directions. Sometimes the right answer is "leave it alone" — and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling, not solving.

UNDER $2,000 / YR

Leave it alone

Automating this costs more than it saves. Keep it human and move on.

$2,000 – $10,000 / YR

Real, but small

Fix it with off-the-shelf tools, a well-configured CRM, or a light AI-agent skill before commissioning custom work.

OVER $10,000 / YR

This is a build

At this value, custom automation pays for itself at least twice over in year one. Demand that math from any vendor — including us.
