What is your annual Copy/Paste Tax?
Put a number on the recurring search, copying, rekeying, formatting, chasing, and correction work inside one workflow—before you buy another AI licence.
No signup. No cookies. Your inputs stay in this browser; on calculation, only a broad annual-cost band is counted. This is a planning estimate, not a savings guarantee.
Step 1 — estimate the baseline
One workflow, not the whole company.
Use the fully loaded hourly cost if you know it. Include salary, employer costs, and a reasonable overhead allocation. Conservative inputs make a better decision.
How to use the number
A large tax does not automatically mean “build an agent.”
The estimate earns a closer look. It does not choose the solution. The next question is which part of the workflow is stable, measurable, reviewable, and safe to change.
Simplify
Use a clear source of truth, a better form, a rule, or an existing platform feature.
Prove
If ambiguity or unstructured inputs remain, test a narrow AI-assisted working slice.
- Verify the baseline: observe a representative week and separate necessary work from avoidable handling.
- Test the simplest intervention first: compare removal, process redesign, existing product features, rules, and assisted AI.
- Model uncertainty: vary volume, loaded hourly cost, correction overhead, delay, and adoption assumptions.
- Do not call the estimate a saving: only a measured before/after result can support a benefit claim.
AI with receipts
Turn the estimate into a measured go/no-go decision.
The Workflow Proof Sprint starts with the baseline you just estimated, builds one controlled end-to-end slice, evaluates it, and leaves your team with a decision—not an open-ended pilot.

1 workflow
One owner, a representative sample, current weekly effort, and the cost of delay or error.
