Estimates use 70% automation efficiency, 50 working weeks per year, 1.5× error cost multiplier, and implementation costs of $10K—$40K depending on scope. Actual results vary based on business complexity and implementation approach.

How We Calculate Your Savings

70% automation efficiency

McKinsey estimates 60—70% of employee tasks have automatable components. We use the midpoint for conservative estimates.

1.5× error cost multiplier

Fixing manual errors typically costs 1.5—3× the original task time. We use the lower bound to keep estimates realistic.

$10K—$40K implementation

Based on Avelle project history. Simple automations start at ~$10K; multi-system integrations with custom AI scale up to $40K+.

3—6 month payback

Deloitte reports AI automation projects achieve payback in 6—12 months on average. Our clients typically see faster returns.
