Plug in three numbers. See your annual cost of manual work, the time you'd reclaim with AI, and the return on a free audit — in 10 seconds.
Three inputs do the math: your effective hourly rate (yours, or what you'd pay a hire), the hours per week your business spends on manual or repetitive work, and the number of weeks you work per year. We multiply them to get your annual cost of manual work — that's the headline number.
The "with AI automation" side assumes a conservative 60% reduction in those hours. That's the typical range we see for SMB workflows where the bottleneck is repetitive data entry, follow-up, scheduling, intake, or after-hours response. Some clients see more (voice agents handling 100% of after-hours calls); some see less (judgment-heavy work doesn't compress). 60% is the honest middle.
Anything you (or someone on your team) does by hand that follows a pattern. The most common categories we see in North Idaho businesses:
If you spend more than two hours a week on any one of these, that's the cheapest line to automate first.
Once you've seen what manual work is actually costing you, the next step is finding the highest-ROI fix — not just any fix. That's what the free audit is for: a focused 60-90 minute conversation plus a written report identifying the top 3 changes ranked by dollar value. If we can't find at least $1,000/month in recoverable revenue or time savings, the audit is free.
The audit isn't a sales pitch. It's a diagnostic. Most businesses leave with a clear plan they could execute themselves — many do. Some hire us to build it. Either way, the calculator number stops being theoretical and becomes a roadmap.
