INSIGHTS · CALCULATOR

Work out your own number before anyone sells you anything.

This tool turns what you already know about a repetitive task into a weekly total, a yearly total and a share of a working week. Nothing on this page is a number from MSD Systems. Type in your own and see what comes out.

How it works

What this calculator does

Two things you already know about a repetitive task, multiplied and reframed three ways.

Enter how many people currently do a repetitive task, and how many hours it takes one of them in a typical week. The calculator multiplies those two figures into a weekly total, then works out what that total looks like across a working year and as a share of one person's working week.

Every result updates as you type. Nothing is saved, sent anywhere, or attached to your name.

Two inputs, recalculated live. Three results, all labelled indicative: a weekly total, a yearly total, and the share of one working week the task represents.

No MSD figure, on this page or anywhere else

The two numbers above are yours. MSD publishes none of its own.

The two numbers above are yours. MSD has not measured this task in your operation, and does not publish a figure of its own here, or anywhere else, until that work has actually been done.

An AI digital worker is one way this kind of work can be reduced. No AI worker has run for a client yet. We scope it and discuss it; we do not claim it is running for a client.

A conversation with a director

Want this checked against your own operation

A calculator gives you a starting point using fixed assumptions, not your systems. A scoping conversation is where that gets tested against what actually happens in yours.

Your operation is the starting point.

Optional
The more specific you can be, the more useful the first conversation will be.
