What You're Spending Now

Start with the cost of doing nothing. Leadership pays attention when they see what the current process actually costs in time, labour, and tools. Focus on three things: revenue, gross profit, value generated. Don't talk about AI -- frame everything as a software investment.

Hours per week on this process

Total hours across the team, not just one person.

Equivalent cost (hourly rate x hours)

Multiply the fully loaded hourly rate by total hours.

Other costs (tools, software, contractors)

Total current cost

Add up labour cost + other costs. This is your baseline.
