Annual hours saved
eligible tickets × (current minutes − review minutes) ÷ 60 × 12Ineligible tickets keep their full current handling time.
First-year net savings
saved hours × loaded hourly cost − annual software cost − implementation costThe result includes both recurring software and one-time setup.

Questions 03
Frequently asked questions
Which support tickets should count as AI eligible?
Count repeatable ticket workflows where AI can reliably classify, retrieve approved knowledge, or draft a response. Keep sensitive, novel, or high-risk cases outside the eligible share.
Why does the estimate include human review time?
AI-assisted support still needs people to check context, policy, tone, and accuracy. Keeping review time in the model avoids treating assistance as fully autonomous resolution.
Does additional ticket capacity mean reducing headcount?
No. Capacity shows how many more tickets the same available labor hours could handle. Teams may instead use recovered time for quality, knowledge maintenance, coaching, or harder cases.
What costs should I include for support AI?
Include recurring software plus one-time setup, integration, training, knowledge preparation, governance, and workflow redesign costs that are relevant to the first year.
