Numbers & cost

Before you automate anything, it helps to know what it costs you now and what it will cost to fix. These guides do that math in the open: hours per week, cost per hour, setup cost, monthly tool cost, and the point where building beats buying.

Every number here either links to its source or comes with the assumptions written next to it, so you can swap in your own. If you want the same math done on your actual week, ask for a free ops audit, or see what our Run retainer costs.
