TUTORIAL 01
Calculate the return on an AI project
Separate time saved from money saved.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
The steps
Set the workflow size
Enter the people involved, recoverable hours and loaded hourly cost. Use measured averages from a representative period. These inputs calculate potential annual capacity value.
Choose a realistic realization rate
Enter the share of that capacity that will become an actual expense reduction or avoided cost. Identify the specific expense or hiring decision behind the number.
Include implementation and operations
Add monthly AI operating costs and one-time implementation. If you include extra revenue, apply contribution margin and avoid double-counting recovered capacity.
Explore the valuation sensitivity
Move the EBITDA multiple slider between 1× and 30×; it starts at 8×. The resulting enterprise value estimate assumes the recurring benefit qualifies as sustainable EBITDA and the multiple remains unchanged.
