How we worked it out
Admin Drain multiplies the people doing this work, their hourly cost (wages, super and overheads), the hours each spends on it and your working weeks. We count 75% of that as recoverable with AI. The conservative and full estimates use 60% and 90%, for lighter and deeper automation.
Buried Revenue adds two sources: the additional matters the freed hours let you take on, times the monthly value, times 12 months; and unbilled time recovery, each month times 12. Freed hours are 75% of the hours spent on this work. We allow about 1.5 hours a week for each new matter. The conservative estimate counts 30% of the matters those hours could cover and half the unbilled time. The full capacity estimate counts 80% of the matters and all the unbilled time.
