How to Use

1

Select a use case preset that matches your AI deployment, or choose Custom to enter your own values.

2

Adjust the number of AI-handled tasks per day and the minutes each task saves compared to manual work.

3

Set the average LLM cost per task based on your model and prompt complexity.

4

Enter the number of team members affected and their average hourly rate to calculate labor savings.

5

Tune the observability savings percentage — monitoring typically saves 10-30% of LLM spend by catching waste, errors, and inefficient prompts.
