ROI Calculation Formula:

```

ROI = (Savings from Automation - Cost of Implementation) / Cost of Implementation × 100

```

Example ROI Scenarios:

Small Business (50 employees):

- Monthly manual tasks: 200 hours

- Cost per hour: $50

- Monthly savings: $10,000

- Implementation cost: $25,000

- ROI: 380% in first year

Mid-Sized Company (200 employees):

- Monthly manual tasks: 800 hours

- Cost per hour: $75

- Monthly savings: $60,000

- Implementation cost: $75,000

- ROI: 860% in first year

Enterprise (1,000+ employees):

- Monthly manual tasks: 4,000 hours

- Cost per hour: $100

- Monthly savings: $400,000
