Potential capacity increase
current monthly hours ÷ hours per item after AICapacity is an optional use of recovered time, not a demand or revenue forecast.

Questions 03
Frequently asked questions
What counts as one content item?
Choose one consistent unit, such as an article, newsletter, campaign asset, or complete social package. Do not mix items with very different production effort in the same estimate.
Should editing and approval stay in the after-AI time?
Yes. Compare the same quality standard before and after AI, including fact-checking, brand review, revisions, design coordination, and final approval.
Does higher content capacity predict more traffic or revenue?
No. The capacity result only shows what the same labor hours could produce at the estimated after-AI time. Audience demand, distribution, quality, rankings, and conversion remain separate questions.
Which content AI costs belong in the estimate?
Include writing, editing, design, SEO, and workflow subscriptions you expect to use, plus first-year training, templates, integrations, and process-change costs.
