Assumptions & Methodology
- Weeks per month: 4.33 (52 weeks / 12 months) is used to convert weekly hours to monthly totals.
- Hours saved: Based on published research from McKinsey (2024) and Microsoft Work Trend Index showing knowledge workers save 3-8 hours per week with AI assistants.
- Payback period: One-time setup cost divided by net monthly savings. Does not account for time-value of money or discount rates.
- 3-year ROI: Calculated as (annual savings x 3 - setup cost) / setup cost x 100. Does not include potential revenue gains from improved output quality.
- Not included: Productivity gains from better output quality, employee satisfaction improvements, reduced turnover, or competitive advantages. Actual ROI may be higher.
