It divides monthly released hours by a reference full-time monthly capacity so the gain is easier to understand. It is not a layoff or guaranteed role-reduction figure.

Use your own workload, time and cost assumptions to estimate capacity an AI-assisted workflow may release. Equivalent capacity supports planning for more work; it is not a layoff estimate. All results are directional.

Method
Formulas and assumptions
Monthly tasks = staff × tasks per person per week × 52 ÷ 12.
Current hours = monthly tasks × current minutes ÷ 60.
Assisted hours = monthly tasks × (AI-assisted minutes + human-review minutes) ÷ 60.
Released hours = current hours − assisted hours, floored at zero.
Monthly net benefit = released hours × loaded hourly cost − monthly AI/tool cost − amortised implementation cost.
Payback is shown only when monthly time value exceeds ongoing AI cost. Sensitivity uses 80%, 100% and 120% of estimated released hours.
