Business Case
Estimate the value of time saved on session notes
Time saved is not automatically revenue earned. Use the calculator to explore your own assumptions, then compare them with what happens in a trial.
Start with your own timings
Enter the time you currently spend completing a note and the time you expect to spend reviewing and finishing a draft. Keep the two measures comparable. The calculator does not include setup time or every possible cost, and its inputs are assumptions until tested in your own practice.
Count the sessions a plan covers
A monthly session allowance puts a limit on how many notes fit within a plan. The calculator applies that limit rather than claiming savings across sessions the plan does not cover.
Keep time value separate from earnings
An hourly rate can put a value on recovered time. It does not mean you will invoice that amount or add appointments. You might use the time to catch up, finish earlier or spend longer on another task.
Work through an illustrative calculation
Suppose 40 eligible notes each take 20 minutes now and 12 minutes to finish with a draft. That is 320 minutes, or about 5.3 hours, recovered in a month. At a chosen time value of A$150 per hour, the illustrative gross value is A$800 before subscription and implementation costs. These are made-up inputs, not Avand results or a forecast of extra income.
Put it into practice
Use these prompts to guide your next step.
- Use comparable before-and-after timings.
- Count only sessions that fit the plan’s limits.
- Include training and other setup costs in your own assessment.
- Treat time value separately from cash income.
