Your numbers.

Start with a task you know. Use measured times where you can, or explore a clearly hypothetical scenario.

Count one repeated task, not all the work your business does.

What would make it worthwhile?

A faster first draft can still create more work. We count preparation, review, corrections and setup before showing the difference.

This is scenario arithmetic, not a forecast. Time available is not cash saved. Tool costs, demand, quality and ongoing maintenance can change the decision.

Count the whole job.
Then judge the result.

Shorter drafting time is only one part of the picture. A useful trial compares work that reaches the same quality standard.

Read the measurement guide
  1. Measure the work you do now.

    Time a few comparable examples from start to acceptable finish. Include looking things up and correcting mistakes.

  2. Include the human part of AI.

    Count preparing inputs, prompting, reviewing and fixing. Divide one-time setup from work that repeats.

  3. Keep quality in the decision.

    Record accuracy, completeness and rework. If quality falls, a faster draft does not automatically make a better workflow.

Before you trust the number.

What if I have never tried AI on this task?

Use a hypothetical value to understand what would need to be true, then replace it with measured effort from a small trial. The example is arithmetic, not evidence of typical AI performance.

Does time available mean money saved?

No. A reduction in effort may create capacity, but cash savings depend on staffing, demand, tool costs and what happens to the time. This calculator does not estimate revenue or financial returns.

How does the two-week figure work?

We compare two typical weeks of current work with two weeks of AI-assisted work, including review and corrections, then subtract setup time once. We assume the weekly workload and per-task effort stay the same.

Are my inputs used in the full assessment?

No. These numbers stay on this page and disappear when you leave or reload. The separate free assessment asks about your wider business and recommends one practical experiment.
