Frequently asked questions
What does time reduction mean?
It is the share of workflow time you expect AI assistance to remove or shorten after keeping needed review work.
Does recovered time imply headcount reduction?
No. Recovered time is capacity that a team can redirect to quality, customers, or higher-value work.
Why use a loaded hourly cost?
It captures a fuller labor cost than base pay alone.
