Enter your team size, volume, handle time, and loaded cost to estimate hours saved, cost to serve, and payback. The model is conservative: it discounts theoretical savings and includes platform and model costs.

Assumptions and formula
hours saved = (deflected volume × handle time) + (assisted volume × handle time × assist reduction), discounted by a realisation rate of 80% so the output is not the theoretical maximum.
Model cost is estimated at $0 per interaction. Productive capacity is 140 hours per person per month. Payback divides one-time implementation cost by net monthly benefit. Nothing here is a claimed customer result.
