Scenario model · planning estimate

How much is the messy weekly work actually costing you?

A scenario model, not a guarantee. Adjust the inputs to match your business and the model estimates the monthly economic impact of running operations through LeedAB. We err conservative on every line — capacity recovered isn't claimed as cash unless it converts to billable utilisation or avoided hires.

How this is calculated — read this before bringing it to your CFO

This is a planning estimate, not a guaranteed saving. Recovered capacity is shown as economic impact only when it converts to billable utilisation, avoided hiring, or revenue protection. We deliberately don't claim "X hours saved = X × hourly rate in cash."

Operational capacity unlocked: team × hours × automation_rate × 4.33 weeks/mo. Capacity becomes cash savings only if it offsets a hire, increases billable output, or removes overtime. If the team just gets quieter weeks, treat this as quality-of-life value, not P&L impact.

Margin protected from follow-up: qualified_pipeline × leakage% × 25% recovery × close_rate × gross_margin. Recovery is capped at 25% (not the 40% an earlier draft used) because most leakage is genuinely lost to bad-fit prospects and dead deals. We multiply by close-rate and margin so the figure is "margin protected", not "topline revenue claimed."

Tool consolidation: tool_spend × consolidation_confidence%. Default 50% — most teams don't cancel every overlapping subscription on day one.

Subscription cost: tier monthly fee shown directly. Implementation is shown separately in the payback calculation; we don't blend it into the monthly net so you can see the actual cash flow.

Not modelled: implementation friction (your team's hours during onboarding), compounding value as the brain grows, retention improvements, faster new-hire onboarding, reduced founder dependency. These are real but harder to put a defensible number on, so we leave them off rather than inflate.
