Hourly rate = fully loaded salary ÷ 2,080 working hours per year.
Time savings by task: writing 70%, analysis & summarization 50%, research & benchmarking 60%, email & comms drafts 65%.
Weighted hours saved per person per week = sum of (hours × savings %) across the four task types.
Non-adopting team members = team size × (1 − adoption %).
Annual cost of under-adoption = hourly rate × weighted hours × non-adopters × 52 weeks.
Annual value of full adoption = hourly rate × weighted hours × total team × 52 weeks.
Equivalent headcount freed = total hours saved per year ÷ 2,080.
Payback on a $49 investment expressed as a fraction of full adoption value × 365 days.
