# ROI report

> Two numbers from you, one from every run, and a monthly answer to whether a job is worth it.

A token bill tells you what the model cost. It cannot tell you what it was worth, because it does not know what a person costs you or how long the job used to take. So the platform asks for both, once.

## What you set

**An hourly rate per desk.** Each desk stands in for a role. Finance work is valued at your accountant's rate, not at an average.

**Minutes per job.** When a job is mapped, the work is timed with the person who does it today. That number sits on the job, and every run saves exactly that many minutes. It is a measurement you agreed to, not a projection.

## What the platform adds

What each run cost, written by the run itself as it finishes, split into scheduled runs and conversations.

## What you get

Per job and per desk, monthly: hours saved, money saved at your rates, money spent, and the net. Conversations are counted as spend, so a job that asks you too often shows up as one.

## Red rows

Some jobs cost more than they save, usually because the input is messy: a photo instead of a form, a mail instead of a file. The report shows them in red with the reason. You can fix the input or switch the job off yourself. A job that is switched off stays in the report at zero, so next quarter nobody wonders where it went.

## What it does not count

Mistakes that did not happen, and money that arrived sooner. Both are real and neither can be proven, so neither is claimed.
