Verify AI Automation Real Value

The default inputs are twelve hundred monthly tasks, thirty five minutes manual time, seven minutes review, and fifty five dollars hourly labor. Gross hours are seven hundred; review consumes one hundred forty, leaving five hundred sixty recovered capacity hours. The calculation floors recovered hours at zero if review exceeds original work. These are modeled time estimates rather than an observed deployment study. They do not imply cash has already been saved. Five hundred sixty hours times fifty five dollars is thirty thousand eight hundred of capacity value. The default forty percent cashable share reduces that to twelve thousand three hundred twenty. Subtract fourteen hundred platform overhead to get ten thousand nine hundred twenty modeled net monthly value. Cashability is an entered assumption, not a guarantee of reduced payroll or increased revenue. Unentered implementation, failure, retry, and transition costs remain outside this formula. The executed payback formula uses monthly overhead times two point five as an implicit setup cost, then divides by net monthly value. At default settings that is roughly point three two months, displayed point three, although the stored unresolved baseline contains one point four. There is no separate setup cost input. If cashable value is below overhead, net monthly value is clamped to zero instead of displaying a loss; payback becomes zero and the interface formats it separately. Treat the result as a scenario calculation, not a financial forecast. Calculate validates positive task volume and manual minutes, resolves the canonical state, and unlocks export. Changing an input makes the prior result unresolved and locks export until calculation runs again. Recovery restores default assumptions. A hash binds the local state representation; it does not authenticate business facts. The native test actually calculates, enters invalid zero volume, and uses recovery in independent original and preview contexts. This verifies selected source behavior and resized tool placement, while publication and broader workflow verification remain separate.
