Assumption: labor cost scales across the people involved (minimum factor of 1).

Planning estimate
Weekly hours on these processes
10.0 hrs
Annual labor cost (estimate)
$54,600
Potentially recoverable (60% automatable)
$32,760/yr
Break-even vs $50/mo tool
under 1 month

You spend about 10.0 hours per week across 5 manual processes, 3 persons at $35/hr — roughly $54,600 per year in labor. If about 60% of that work could be automated, you might recover around $32,760 annually. Against a $50/month automation tool, that pencils to break-even in under 1 month.

Assumptions: 52 working weeks; 60% automatable share is a planning placeholder, not a guarantee; tool baseline is $50/month for comparison only.
