Ungated planning tool

Estimate the manual work your firm could recover.

Use this local calculator to size one practical automation conversation before adding another tool, connector, or lead form.

Directional baseline

$1,260–$1,980/month

Based on the default fixture (12 people × 4 hours/month × $75/hour), before any discovery or validation.

Assumptions

Use it to decide whether a workflow is worth a deeper look.

The calculator multiplies staff count, repeatable manual hours, and a blended CAD hourly cost. It then applies a conservative recoverable range instead of promising full replacement.

This local calculator provides a directional, non-guaranteed monthly range for planning conversations only. The actual outcome depends on data quality, permissions, review requirements, adoption, vendor constraints, and whether the workflow is supportable.

Caveats before you trust the number

  • This estimate is directional, conservative, and not a guarantee of savings, revenue, margin, or staffing changes.
  • Do not paste client-confidential data into the calculator; it does not need any client names, records, or files.
  • If JavaScript fails, the assumptions, caveats, default range, and booking next step remain visible on this static page.

Calculator

Manual-work recovery range

CAD / month

staff

Use 12 if you want a conservative starting point. Accepted range: 1–500 staff.

hours/month

Count recurring re-entry, reporting, coordination, and handoff work. Accepted range: 1–200 hours/month.

CAD/hour

Include wages, overhead, and review time if known. Accepted range: 1–500 CAD/hour.

Enter values and calculate to display a fresh estimate. Changing any field clears stale results.

Next step

Validate one workflow before adding connectors.

Bring the range, the workflow, and the systems involved. Pine IT can help decide whether automation, permissions cleanup, reporting, or better ownership is the right move.
