How we calculate it
Annual hours per machine = hours/day × days/week × weeks/year. Annual value = machines × annual hours × hourly margin × productivity gain. Hours unlocked = machines × annual hours × productivity gain. Multi-year totals are simple sums, undiscounted, for readability. Real deployments include a ramp period. Most shops reach the modeled gain by month 4 to 6.
