Savings calculator
Less chasing. More managing.
Move the sliders to your own figures and see how much time WiseBlock's Email Triage and Maintenance Surveyor agents could release for your team.
See the agents on your own blocks, and test the estimate in a pilot. Your figures are not saved.
Sheet 01What is being estimated
Two agents. A person decides.
The calculator models two of WiseBlock's AI agents. Both draft and sort; neither makes a decision a person has not checked.
-
Email Triage
Sorts the building's incoming email by type and urgency, labels it and routes it to the right person — so the inbox arrives in order rather than as a pile. Anything it is unsure of is left for a person.
-
Maintenance Surveyor
Reads the photographs of a reported fault and drafts the description, category, urgency and the trades needed. The draft arrives in a form a person checks before anything is saved or sent.
Sheet 02Methodology
How the estimate works.
Each agent is worked out on its own and the two are added together. Nothing is rounded until it is shown to you.
| Step | How it is worked out |
|---|---|
| Tasks handled by the agent | Monthly volume × share suitable × share actually put through it |
| Time per task with the agent | Assisted minutes + (share reviewed × review minutes) + (share needing extra handling × minutes per exception) |
| Minutes released | Tasks handled × (minutes today − time per task with the agent), and never less than zero |
| Hours released | Minutes released ÷ 60, a month; × 12 for a year; ÷ your working day for days |
| Indicative capacity value | Hours released × your loaded labour cost |
| Potential cash saving | Capacity value × the share tied to a real cost you name — zero if you name none |
What it does not do. It does not look at your inbox, your systems or your residents' data, and it does not recommend staffing changes. Review time is added once, explicitly — never hidden inside the assisted figure as well.
Where the starting figures come from. The scenarios are WiseBlock's starting assumptions, currently recorded as unvalidated hypothesis. They are published, dated and versioned, and they will be replaced as pilot evidence comes in. The way to know your own figures is to time your own work — which is what a pilot does.
Questions
The estimate, answered.
What is a loaded labour cost?
What an hour of your team's time really costs the business: salary plus employer National Insurance, pension contributions and a share of overheads such as desks, software and management. It is usually well above the hourly wage, which is why the calculator asks for it rather than assuming one.
Is the capacity value a cash saving?
No. It is the released time valued at your loaded labour cost — a measure of what the time is worth, not money returned to the bank. Released time becomes cash only when it removes a real cost, such as overtime, agency staff, a vacancy you would not need to fill or outsourced administration. The calculator shows a cash figure only when you name one of those.
Do I have to connect my inbox or give any details?
No. The calculator works from the figures you type. It does not connect to your email, your property management system or your residents' data, and you do not need to give a name or email address to see your result.
Does a person still check the agents' work?
Yes. The calculator assumes every email and every drafted repair is checked by a person, and adds that review time to the assisted figure. You can change how much is reviewed, but review changes the workload, never the accountability.
How are the assumptions validated?
In a pilot: we time your current work, run the agents alongside your team with human review, and record the assisted time, the review time, the exceptions and anything ineligible. The published assumptions are updated only when that evidence has been reviewed, and every version is kept.
