Total executive hours spent each week on the four manual workflows above — the raw time bleed AI infrastructure is meant to absorb.

18h × $150 × 1 wk
The yearly dollar cost of those leaked hours at your blended executive rate. This is the budget you're already spending — just invisibly.

4 turns per task
How efficiently each AI task runs. More back-and-forth turns mean more repeated context, slower output, and higher token cost — efficiency drops sharply past 3 turns.
Critical bloat
Context Bloat
Every back-and-forth makes the AI re-read the whole email chain. At 4 turns, the AI effectively re-reads 6,080 words of context for every single task.
The implication: this hidden "re-reading tax" inflates your API bills, slows response times, and compounds across every team member using AI daily. Fewer, sharper prompts = faster output and lower cost per task.
