10 hours/week x $50/hr

= $500/week saved

Cost Per Task

Cost Before and After Automation Comparison

💰

Example:

10 hours/week x $50/hr

= $500/week saved (Before $10 vs After $2 per task)

Productivity Multiplier

Output after / Output before

🚀

Example:

150 Units after / 100 units before

= 1.5x Increase

Revenue Per Employee

Revenue / No. of employees (Before Vs After)

📈

Example:

$1M/20 ($50K) vs $1.2M/18 ($66.7K)

= $16.7K Increase per employee

Customer Satisfaction Score

CSAT Improvement Percentage

⭐

Example:

75% before Vs 92% after

Example:

(50 - 5) / 50 x 100

= 90% Reduction

Payback Period

Total AI Investment / Monthly Savings

👛

Example:

$12000 Investment / $1500/month

= 8 Months

Customer Response Time

Average response time reduction

⏱️
