Assumptions

Illustrative

All figures are illustrative. They are computed from your inputs and the assumptions listed here. None is a quote, a forecast or a client result.
Cost per hour is the fully loaded cost per person divided by the annual paid-hours basis. No percentage is applied to non-labor spend.
Each mission addresses a share of the repeatable hours pool, shown in the table. The shares of the selected missions are added and capped at 100% of the pool, so no hour is counted twice.
Capacity is not cash. Only the share of returned hours you mark as converted to cost reduction counts as savings. The rest is shown as capacity value.
Net savings subtract the agent fleet at your assumed unit cost and the human time spent reviewing agent output, valued at the same cost per hour. Review time is subtracted in full, which is deliberately conservative.
Missions previously out of reach are counted and listed, not valued. They add agents and cost to the fleet and no savings.
Run-rate figures describe a full year with the selected fleet fully live and exclude setup. The 36-month view stages the same figures along the growth path and books the setup cost evenly over the first 12 months.
On the growth path, savings, review time and fleet cost scale with the share of the selected fleet that is live. Traditional cost is held flat: no wage growth, no hiring, no attrition.
Each line is rounded before the next line uses it: dollars and hours to whole numbers, cost per hour to cents, payback to one decimal. Halves round away from zero.
Not modeled: revenue effects, quality or cycle-time gains, severance, taxes, discounting and inflation. Any of these would change the result.
Agents per mission are the default fleet sizes from the mission catalog. Cost per agent is your input. No Solstice price is published on this page.
