AI Workflow ROI Calculator

AI Workflow ROI Calculator: estimate where automation could free up team time

Answer a few questions about manual process handling, frequency, work cost, and corrections. The result gives a cautious time and budget range to discuss during an automation audit.

What the calculator measures

Manual handling time

How many people touch the process, how often it happens, and how many minutes one case takes.

Cost of recurring work

An estimated hourly team cost or a safe range if you do not want to use an exact rate.

Errors and corrections

Corrections, data retyping, and exceptions that often decide whether automation is worth exploring.

Calculator

Estimate the monthly range

Use realistic numbers from one recurring process. The result is intentionally cautious and meant to start a better conversation, not promise savings.

Entry packages

Choose a focused first step before committing to a larger build

Each package is designed to turn an unclear idea, unstable project, or automation opportunity into a concrete scope, decision, and next implementation step. The ranges below are practical starting budgets, not a promise that a larger build will fit inside the package price.

Recommended first step

MVP Kickstart

For founders and teams that need to move from idea to a realistic first release.

Scope workshop, MVP backlog, architecture decisions, risk map, release plan, and implementation estimate.

  • Start: focused discovery. Delivery: compact scope sprint.
  • Typical budget: PLN 4,000-9,000 net for the discovery package.
Start with MVP Kickstart

Rescue Audit

For products that already exist, but delivery, scope, quality, or ownership is getting unclear.

Technical and product review, key risks, stabilization priorities, and a short recovery roadmap.

  • Start: audit of current state. Delivery: prioritized action plan.
  • Typical budget: PLN 5,000-12,000 net for the audit.
Discuss a rescue audit

Integration Sprint

For companies that need systems, APIs, payments, CRM, ERP, or SaaS tools to work together reliably.

One critical flow, integration contract, edge cases, implementation plan, and rollout checklist.

  • Start: one process or integration path. Delivery: scoped sprint plan.
  • Typical budget: PLN 8,000-20,000 net for the first integration sprint.
Scope an integration

AI / Automation Pilot

For teams that want to test AI or automation on a real workflow without turning it into a large program.

Use case diagnosis, data/process review, pilot scope, risk notes, and next-step implementation path.

  • Start: practical use case. Delivery: pilot-ready scope.
  • Typical budget: PLN 8,000-25,000 net for the pilot.
Plan a pilot

Is this the final price of the whole project?

No. These are entry packages. They help define scope, risks, architecture, and the next step before estimating a larger build.

Which package should we choose first?

If you are building a new product, start with MVP Kickstart. If you already have a project in motion and need clarity, start with Rescue Audit. For one concrete process, choose Integration Sprint or AI / Automation Pilot.

How to read the result

1. A range, not a promise

The result is an indicative diagnosis of potential, not a guaranteed ROI after implementation.

2. A good audit topic

The best candidate is a recurring process with clear inputs that consumes team time.

3. Small pilot before a large rebuild

If the range looks meaningful, start with one limited workflow and measure the effect.

Outcome

When it is worth discussing

If the team regularly retypes data, guards statuses, reads documents, classifies requests, or builds the same reports, automation can start with a small, measurable part of the process.

FAQ

Common questions about the result

Does the calculator promise savings?

No. It shows a cautious range for discussion. Real impact depends on data, integrations, process quality, and how many steps can be automated safely.

What if I do not know the hourly cost?

Choose a safe estimate. The point is to assess scale, not build a precise financial model.

Is AI always needed?

No. Sometimes an integration, better form, workflow rules, or a panel is enough. AI makes sense when the process needs classification, summaries, document handling, or decision support.

Fast first step

Send a short brief. We will come back with scope, risks, and a practical start path.

You do not need a full specification. Describe the product, process, or integration in a few sentences. We will point out what needs clarification, what can be built first, and where the delivery risks are.

What to send

Goal, current state, constraints, and links or materials if they already exist.

What you get back

A concrete next step: scope workshop, MVP Kickstart, Rescue Audit, integration sprint, or a smaller pilot.

Why it helps

Fewer generic calls, faster qualification, and a clearer decision before committing budget.
