How this is calculated

The saving is simple and transparent: hours saved / year = people × hours per week × automation factor × 52, and money saved / year multiplies that by your fully-loaded hourly cost. The automation factor is how much of the repetitive time that type of build realistically removes — we use conservative figures: customer-support chatbots 55%, RAG document assistants 50%, back-office workflow automation 70%, data pipeline / reporting automation 65%, and multi-step AI agents 60%.

The build ranges and timelines come from real project data across our AI development cost ranges. Payback divides the midpoint of that build range by your estimated annual saving. Everything here is indicative and meant for planning — it is not a quote. Your exact number is a fixed price you approve after a free scope.
