What this saves the team.
Annual savings represent fully-loaded labour cost recovered. Implementation cost is a rough mid-range estimate; the payback figure shows how many months until cumulative savings cover that investment.
Across 12 workflows, fully-loaded labour cost recoverable inside year one.
