The total cost represents all the estimated time lost. The recoverable portion above is what better-organized operations could reclaim; these are not guaranteed savings.

Quantify operational friction before you invest
This free estimator helps Canadian SMBs measure the hidden cost of everyday friction: duplicate entry, billing errors, rework, and coordination across tools. In a few minutes you get a range of lost hours and annual costs, calibrated to your industry (NAICS classification).
The math uses a deterministic engine fed by sector averages. Artificial intelligence only writes the summary and suggests modules; it never computes amounts. Three scenarios (conservative, realistic, ambitious) bound uncertainty so you can prioritize next steps.
What the tool estimates
- Recoverable hours: time lost each month and year for affected people.
- Friction cost: indicative financial value at your sector's loaded hourly rate.
- Recommended modules: three concrete ways to cut re-entry and rework.
Frequently asked questions
How is the estimate calculated?
A deterministic calculation engine applies fixed formulas to average parameters for your sector (hours lost per person, rework rate, loaded hourly rate). Artificial intelligence plays no role in those figures: it writes the personalized summary and suggests modules only when you request the full report by email; it computes no amounts.
Do I need to provide my email to see the results?
No for the headline figures: estimated hours and costs appear immediately after the questionnaire. Yes for the personalized analysis and recommended Sequentia modules: those are generated and sent only when you provide your email.
What do the three scenarios mean?
The conservative scenario uses cautious assumptions, the realistic scenario reflects the expected median situation, and the ambitious scenario shows the maximum recovery potential. All three remain indicative estimates.
Are the amounts shown guaranteed?
No. They are orders of magnitude based on sector averages and your answers. Actual results depend on each company's specific context.
What do you do with my answers?
Your answers are only used to produce the estimate. They are linked to your identity only if you submit the contact form.
