Hours saved per month, by area
How we estimate this
We use your answers to estimate how many hours a month go into six common areas of repetitive work, then apply a conservative range for how much of that work AI and automation typically remove for Australian SMBs.
| Area | Hours per month | Automatable |
|---|---|---|
| Customer enquiries | Enquiries × 6 minutes | 40–70% |
| Accounts administration | Invoices × 4 minutes | 50–80% |
| Inbox management | Shared inboxes × 5 hours | 30–60% |
| Quoting & proposals | Hours per week × 4.33 | 30–50% |
| General repetitive admin | Hours per week × 4.33 | 25–45% |
| Sales follow-up & CRM updates | Staff × 0.6 hours | 30–50% |
Hours saved = hours per month × automatable %, added up across the six areas and rounded to the nearest 5 hours.
Annual value = hours saved per month × 12 × your loaded hourly cost, rounded to the nearest $1,000. This is the value of time freed up for higher-value work; it's not a promise of reduced headcount.
Readiness sets how confident we are. If your readiness is lower, we reduce the conservative end of the range (by 20% for "Foundations first", 10% for "Ready to start") because projects typically take longer to bed in. Readiness questions you skip count as middle-of-the-road.
Sensible limits: total savings are capped at 30% of your team's paid hours (staff × 38 hours × 4.33 weeks), and never more than 5,000 hours a month. Very large inputs are capped too. Systems and industry tailor the suggestions but don't change the numbers.
This is an indicative estimate, not a quote. Our AI Opportunity & ROI Audit measures the real numbers in your business.
