What the model counts

A finance case your team can audit.

The calculator keeps recovered capacity separate from error or leakage prevention, then subtracts the investment you enter. It does not treat every saved hour as headcount reduction.

ServiceTitan remains the source of truth.

Recurring pay rules calculate in one controlled workflow.

Your team reviews exceptions before payroll is approved.
