Process Value Engine 1.5

Measure the value of recovered time, not only the cost of the process.

For a micro or small business, a few hundred PLN per month and several recovered hours can still matter. The calculator separates hard direct value from the potential use of time that may be redirected to sales, delivery, development or lower operational overload.

current VSA entry value: PLN 59/mo; base value becomes PLN 99/mo on 1 Oct 2026
automation needs a repeatable process core
a small direct cost can still block a more valuable resource

If review takes as long as the current work, or the direct net effect is negative, the result becomes NO-GO.

Value model

Three numbers that must not be mixed.

Potential use of recovered time is not added to guaranteed savings. It is a separate measure of operational capacity.

1. Manual cost

K_month = N × (T_op / 60) × S_h

How much resource the current process consumes.

2. Direct net value

B_direct = [N × ((T_op − T_rev) / 60) × S_h] − K_VSA

Recovered-time value minus the monthly solution cost.

3. Operational capacity

H_upside = H_recovered × 10–30%

An indicative share of recovered time that may be redirected to higher-value work. It is not guaranteed revenue.

Decision Gate

There is no arbitrary “too small to matter” threshold.

The decision depends on value-to-cost ratio, recovered hours, repeatability and process importance.

StateWhenRecommendation
NO-GONet effect ≤ 0, review does not reduce work, or the process is one-off.Simplify the process, form or procedure first.
MICRO / TOOLThe effect is positive but small.Use a narrow, low-cost tool. A small monthly net gain can still be useful.
FAST PILOT / LIGHTThe solution usually covers its cost around 1.5–2× or recovers meaningful time.Run 14 days of Shadow Mode and measure before/after.
FULL IMPLEMENTATIONCoverage is around 3× or higher, the process is frequent or blocks sales, delivery or service.After the pilot, activate a dedicated workflow / instance.
Next step

If the relationship makes sense, validate it on a live process.

Fast Pilot does not promise future revenue. It measures real time before and after, review load, errors, completeness and the GO / NO-GO decision.
