The compounding effect
By month 18, your Level 5 AI team generates $107,352 in monthly savings, while Level 2 stays flat at $64,950. That gap widens every month because the AI team continuously improves its own processes.
Conservative estimate
This model uses a fixed 20% base efficiency gain, which is conservative for AI automation. Level 5 applies monthly compounding as the AI team discovers new optimizations, automates more workflows, and improves its own tooling. Actual results vary by industry, process complexity, and implementation scope.
