Automation economics

Automation ROI Estimator

Estimate whether a workflow is worth automating before you pay for software, hire an agency, or assign internal build time.

Decision rule

Fast payback beats impressive demos.

If the math is weak, narrow the workflow before adding tools.

Use this before the build brief

The estimator is intentionally conservative. It counts partial automation, maintenance, and build cost so the result does not depend on best-case assumptions.
