Workflow calculator

AI readiness assessment and workflow automation ROI calculator

Find the workflow worth fixing first, estimate the manual cost, and see whether it is ready for AI, automation, or data work.

What it estimates
Annual cost

Manual hours, rework, and loaded hourly cost.

What it scores
7 readiness checks

Data, process, owner, tools, metrics, risk, adoption.

What it recommends
First month

A practical starting move for the $4,000 retainer.

1. Choose the workflow

Start with one operating process.

3. Readiness check

Source data is reliable and accessible

Exports and cleanup to Clean access

The workflow is repeatable enough to improve

Mostly exceptions to Repeatable

One owner can approve changes

Shared vaguely to Clear owner

Current tools can connect or export data

Closed tools to API or database

Success can be measured

Opinion-led to Clear metric

Human review and auditability are practical

Full report

Send the score breakdown and 30-day implementation path.

The full report packages your inputs, assumptions, score, and first-month recommendation so the next discussion can start from the actual workflow.

Basic results stay visible. The report request only sends your details and calculator summary to Ubisar through the existing contact funnel.

Method

The calculator uses your operating inputs, not invented benchmarks.

The result is a planning range from the numbers you enter. It is useful for choosing where to start, not a promise of savings.

Annual manual hours

monthly volume x staff minutes per item / 60 x 12

Annual rework cost

monthly volume x rework rate x rework minutes / 60 x 12 x loaded hourly cost

Readiness score

weighted score across data, process, ownership, integration, measurement, risk, and adoption

Recoverable value

annual workflow cost x planning assumption based on readiness band
What is an AI readiness assessment?

An AI readiness assessment checks whether a workflow has accessible data, a repeatable process, clear ownership, integration paths, measurable success, review controls, and a realistic adoption path.

How does this calculator estimate workflow automation ROI?

The calculator uses visitor inputs for monthly volume, staff time, loaded hourly cost, rework rate, and rework time. It estimates annual manual cost, annual rework cost, and a planning range for recoverable value.

What makes a workflow ready for automation?

A workflow is more ready when the source data is accessible, the steps are repeatable, there is a clear owner, current tools can connect, success is measurable, risks can be reviewed, and users have a practical adoption path.

When should a company not automate a workflow yet?

A company should hold off when the workflow is mostly exceptions, the data is not reliable, ownership is unclear, the tools cannot connect, or the team cannot measure whether the change worked.

What can Ubisar ship in the first month?

Ubisar starts by choosing one valuable workflow, fixing the data and tools around it, shipping a usable improvement, and iterating until it becomes part of how the team works.
