Baseline Formula
MRT
((weekly volume x mins/item x friction factor x 52) / 60) x blended hourly rate

Manual Review Tax Calculator
A fast executive model for estimating operational drag, recoverable time, and expected lift from deterministic orchestration.
Use this model to baseline current workflow drag before deploying automation lanes. The formula intentionally stays transparent so leadership can challenge assumptions in plain language.
Reference Rate
$85/h
Default blended rate for strategic ops, compliance review, and handoff overhead.
Friction Factor
1.2-1.5x
Apply higher factors where multi-system handoffs and manual policy checks dominate.
