How the estimate works
Monthly repetitive hours = people × weekly hours × 52 ÷ 12. Time freed = monthly hours × the share you expect to automate or AI-assist. Value = time freed × your fully loaded hourly cost (salary plus overheads). Payback = one-time setup cost ÷ monthly value. Full-time equivalent assumes about 173 working hours per month.
Real results depend on your workflow, data quality, adoption and ongoing costs. That's why every YukiOshi project starts by measuring a baseline.
