Put a number on the work your automation returns.

The saved automation calculator starts with ten workflow items per week in its HTML. Error rates of two percent before and point five percent after, at one hundred eighty dollars per error over forty-eight weeks, give twelve hundred ninety-six dollars in annual error reduction value. But Reset defaults sets weekly volume to five hundred, producing sixty-four thousand eight hundred instead. Bars use point zero zero eight pixels per dollar. The fifty-fold jump comes from the source mismatch, not improved automation. The explanation preserves this original behavior and makes the difference visible; the input estimates and error costs are not measured outcomes. Ten hours saved each week at thirty-two dollars over forty-eight weeks give fifteen thousand three hundred sixty in valued labor. Adding initial avoided-error value twelve hundred ninety-six gives annual benefit sixteen thousand six hundred fifty-six. Subtracting the twelve-thousand first-year service fee leaves net value forty-six hundred fifty-six. Bars compare labor and combined benefit using point zero three pixels per dollar. If the after-error rate exceeds the before-error rate, the error contribution becomes negative; that signed amount is preserved in benefit. Valued time is not automatically realized as cash or extra output, so this accounting formula cannot prove an actual economic return. The interface calls annual benefit divided by service fee times one hundred ROI. With the initial values this is one hundred thirty-eight point eight percent. A net-return definition would use benefit minus fee in the numerator and give thirty-eight point eight. Bars show both at three point six pixels per percentage point. Payback instead divides fee by annual benefit and multiplies by twelve, about eight point six months. The efficiency label uses hours saved divided by hours saved plus forty; ten gives twenty percent. These are source definitions, not an observed productivity study. A zero fee produces displayed ROI zero rather than infinity, and negative benefit is clamped to zero payback months.
