How the math works

What's behind the calculation

Current hours/month = (blogs × blog hrs) + (emails × email hrs). AI capture rate represents the % of first-draft work AI removes. The remaining hours (~30-40% of original) are editorial passes and judgment work that don't compress.

AI-enabled output assumes you redirect the saved hours back into producing more content at the same per-piece rate. In practice, smart teams use part of the time savings for strategy, distribution, and measurement work — but the calculator shows the theoretical maximum content lift.
