Method and assumptions

Formulas. Hours freed = items per month × 12 × share AI handles × (minutes today − minutes still spent) ÷ 60. Capacity value = hours freed × cost per hour. Hard savings = capacity value × share realized. Net annual value = hard savings − 12 × monthly run cost. Payback is the month when cumulative savings, less run cost, recover the setup cost. Three year ROI = (three year savings − three year run cost − setup) ÷ (setup + three year run cost).

Assumptions.

  • Volume stays flat for three years.
  • Savings ramp up evenly over the months to full use, then hold steady.
  • Setup is paid at go live; run cost starts in month one. Default cost values are examples, not Innovube pricing.
  • Items AI does not handle keep their current handling time.
  • Only time that is redeployed or avoids hiring counts as savings.
  • Fixing AI errors beyond the review time entered is not included. Add it to run cost if material.
  • Revenue, quality and risk benefits are excluded, so the estimate is conservative.
  • Figures are not discounted and exclude taxes, inflation and financing.

This is a directional estimate based only on the values you enter. It is not a quote or a promise of results. The share of freed time that becomes savings matters most: hours saved are only money when that time is redeployed, avoids new hiring, or grows revenue.
