How the estimate is worked out

Each area's hours a week come from your numbers: copying is the hours you gave; calls, bookings and the day's plan are count times minutes; invoices a month are spread over 52 weeks a year. Then each area keeps the share below for the setting you chose. The year is 50 working weeks.

Share of today's hours that could come back, by area and setting
AreaCautiousMiddleAmbitiousWhy some of it comes back
Copying between tools 50% 70% 90% With every record in one system most copying stops; checking and the odd exception remain.
Calls and messages 20% 35% 50% An assistant or a booking link answers the routine questions; conversations that need you stay with you.
Bookings and changes 30% 50% 70% Online booking and automatic confirmations take most of the back and forth; some changes still need a person.
Invoicing 40% 60% 80% Invoices come from work already recorded and recurring charges bill on schedule; someone still reviews them.
Working out the day 25% 40% 60% A shared schedule and task list replace the whiteboard and the group texts; a short check-in still helps.

These shares are assumptions for a planning conversation, not results measured at a client. Your real numbers come out of discovery.
