Sliders, not spreadsheets. Five inputs and you have an annual savings number, a payback period, and a 3-year ROI in front of you. Adjust assumptions, watch the numbers move, and only commit budget when the math is honest.

Estimates assume the deflection rate is sustained at the value you chose. Most engagements land within ±20% of the chosen rate after a 90-day post-mortem. Read the methodology in our LLM ROI piece.

How the math works.

Annual savings = tasks/week × minutes/task × deflection × $/hr × 52. Payback period = build cost ÷ monthly savings. 3-year ROI = (3 × annual savings − build cost) ÷ build cost. The model assumes deflection is sustained at the chosen rate; the longer blog post on calculating LLM ROI covers the sensitivity-check pattern we use on every engagement.

◆ CAVEAT

All-in build cost is the harder number to estimate. Don't under-count your team's time, model spend in year one, or the eval-suite ongoing cost. If unsure, talk to us. We'll pressure-test the number for free.
