FAQ
What automation % is realistic?
80–95% for structured tasks (form entry, invoicing). 50–70% for tasks needing judgement. Below 40% and it's likely augmentation, not automation.
Should I include setup cost?
Yes — include one-time integration, training and consultant time. Excluding it makes payback look better than reality.
