Practical AI value

AI ROI Calculator

Build an indicative business case for a Microsoft Copilot, agent or automation opportunity using transparent time, adoption and cost assumptions.

ROI estimator

Model the potential value of an AI use case.

Estimate time savings, labour value, implementation costs and payback using transparent assumptions. Results are indicative and should be validated during discovery.

Assumptions

Start from an Enabl AI product preset, then adjust every value to the client or use case. Presets are planning assumptions, not vendor quotes or guaranteed savings.

Start with general planning assumptions and tailor every value to the opportunity.

How to use this estimate

Treat this as a prioritisation aid rather than a guarantee. Validate task frequency, loaded labour cost, achievable time reduction, adoption and implementation cost with the people who perform the work. Benefits such as improved quality, reduced risk, faster service and revenue are intentionally excluded unless separately quantified.

Validate the assumptions

Turn the estimate into a practical use-case plan.

An Enabl AI discovery workshop can validate the process, users, effort, governance requirements, delivery cost and measurable success criteria behind the estimate.
