Use completed-work time
Include the qualified review needed to reach an accepted output. Do not compare a completed manual process with an unreviewed generated draft.
Browser-only calculator
Estimate where qualified-review time goes across the first pass, repeated work and partner escalation. Use one recurring contract workflow and numbers your firm can explain.

How the estimate works
Monthly hours equal the base pass for every review, plus the extra time for the share needing rework, plus partner time for the share escalated. Annual hours multiply that monthly total by twelve.
Include the qualified review needed to reach an accepted output. Do not compare a completed manual process with an unreviewed generated draft.
Estimate first, then sample several recent matters. Record start, correction, escalation and completion consistently so the baseline can be challenged.
A high burden may come from intake, ownership, templates, handoffs or approval rules. The right first step can be a process fix rather than another product.
Turn the estimate into a baseline
The Baseline Kit records the five measures beside the workflow trigger, output, exceptions and people. The readiness score then tests whether a controlled comparison is practical.
Keep the estimate
Copy the result into your own notes, or - optionally - receive it by email. The calculator works fully in this browser either way; nothing is stored or sent unless you ask.
