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.
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.
Only fill this in if you can point to a real leak — deals that die because nobody got back to them in time.
Rate each signal 1–5. This tells you whether your biggest number is actually buildable — value without fit is a project that fights you.
Honest math, both directions. Sometimes the right answer is "leave it alone" — and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling, not solving.
Automating this costs more than it saves. Keep it human and move on.
Fix it with off-the-shelf tools, a well-configured CRM, or a light AI-agent skill before commissioning custom work.
At this value, custom automation pays for itself at least twice over in year one. Demand that math from any vendor — including us.
