Use it to turn an AI agent, intelligent automation, API integration, dashboard, or document workflow into a first-pass business case before paying for a production build.

Founder and operator friendly

Designed for practical internal operations decisions, not abstract finance modeling.

Built for AI automations that may need real software

The strongest AI candidates usually have recurring manual work, repeated data entry, tool handoffs, API limits, approval steps, document review, or expensive delays that no spreadsheet will fix cleanly.

Find the workflow cost

Convert hours, loaded labor cost, and preventable delays into a monthly value signal that founders and operators can compare against build cost.

Match the AI automation type

Compare AI agents, intelligent automations, API integrations, document AI, ops dashboards, and custom AI software with practical defaults.

Choose the right build path

Get a simple direction for whether the opportunity looks like a focused integration, workflow automation, or custom AI system.
