How the numbers are built

No black box. Every assumption named.

CFOs do not sign off on a number they cannot defend. The calculator above uses four constants, all drawn from mid-market Australian finance benchmarks. The email report walks each one with the working and cites the source.

Change our assumptions to yours and the totals move. Ordron does the same exercise in the Automation Roadmap, only with your actual workflow shadowed for sixty minutes first.
