Questions
Frequently asked questions
Where do the default hours come from?
They reflect the typical workloads we measure in small-business operations audits — six hours a week on data entry, four on invoicing, five on reporting, and so on. Treat them as starting points; your audit replaces them with measured numbers.
What should I enter for hourly cost?
Use the loaded cost, not the wage: salary plus taxes, benefits, and overhead — usually 1.25–1.4× the hourly wage. $35 an hour is a reasonable default for a mixed admin and operations team.
Can all of these tasks really be automated?
The rule-based core of each one, yes — that's what the hours represent. Data entry, invoice generation, scheduling confirmations, report refreshes, and follow-up sequences are the standard first builds. Judgment calls stay with your team.
