Start with measured workload. The baseline labor capacity cost is not automatically avoidable payroll.
Conditional decision brief · Base
Neither implementation produces a positive cash NPV at these assumptions. Released capacity is shown separately and does not fund the investment by itself.
53 of 53 assumptions still need validation, a source, or an owner. The most sensitive driver for the leading option is external costs.
All results are incremental to the current process, whose incremental cash flow and NPV are zero. Cash ROI includes cash savings and incremental profit contribution only.

Over 36 months. Pretax, unlevered, constant workload. Capacity and internal time are shown separately from cash returns.
No gross time reduction up to 100% produces a nonnegative cash NPV with the current cash-realization, demand, and cost assumptions.
One driver at a time moves ±20%. Results show cash NPV at 80% and 120% of its current value; reduction and adoption are capped at 100%.
