THE BUSINESS CASE

Make the
case for clarity.

Before a system earns an investment, its assumptions deserve attention. Put time, human review and operating costs on the same page.

cases

Count completed cases in a representative month.

min / case

Preparation and execution time, excluding the review entered below.

min / case

Checking, corrections and follow-up effort.

USD / hour

Your estimate of the full hourly employment cost.

The proposed change.

Keep the human work in the model. The review range determines the two outcomes.

min / case

Hands-on work still needed after the proposed change, excluding review.

min / case

A plausible lower bound for checking and correcting each case.

min / case

A plausible higher bound. Include difficult or incomplete outputs.

%

Share of cases handled by the proposed workflow. The rest remain unchanged.

%

Share of released time that could be put to useful work. Extra effort is counted in full.

The investment.

Include delivery, integration, training and operating costs that are relevant to your scope.

USD

Your own planning assumption, not an Ayan quote.

USD / month

Platforms, model usage, monitoring, maintenance and support.

months

Compare 1 to 60 months. The model assumes steady operation from month one.

YOUR CAPACITY OUTLOOK Updates as you think

A range.
A better question.

What could this workflow make room for, after review effort and the costs you have entered?

THE MODEL, IN THE OPEN

Useful numbers
need honest boundaries.

This is a planning instrument for a conversation. It does not price an engagement, forecast a financial result or promise a return.

Follow the entire task.

Current effort is handling plus review. Proposed effort includes the work still done by people, plus a lower and higher review estimate. Only the share of cases covered by the proposed workflow changes; the rest keep their current effort.

Time is capacity.

Released hours are multiplied by your reusable share and loaded hourly cost. That represents a value for redeployable capacity. It does not automatically reduce payroll, create revenue or become cash. If the change adds work, that additional effort is counted in full.

Let the costs stay visible.

Monthly operating cost is subtracted from capacity value every month, and implementation cost is deducted at the start. Cost coverage means the accumulated modelled capacity value has covered the entered costs. It is not a cash payback forecast.

Test the assumptions.

The model holds volume, coverage, rates and effort constant from month one. It excludes rollout delays, ramp-up, inflation, financing, taxes, discounted cash flows, revenue effects and costs you have not entered. Use representative completed cases to challenge the estimates, then revisit the calculation.
