AUTOMATION BUSINESS CASE

No agent clears every case. We put a number on the rest.

Ledgerline builds AI agents for operations teams. Before you take a number to finance, we show you the exception cost that turns a great-looking payback into a real one.

The number most calculators leave out

Hours saved times hourly rate is the easy arithmetic, and it is the number finance has already seen more than once. Price the tasks the agent does not clear and the conversation changes.

Your numbers
Honest payback
3.5 months
$1,290 saved per month, after exceptions
What the other calculators leave outAt 92% accuracy, 40 tasks a month still reach a human, and they take longer than the original job because someone is checking the agent. That is $280 a month, and $3,360 off the first-year headline.
Typical pitch2.9 months$14,340
With exceptions priced in3.5 months$10,980

How we scope an agent that lasts past the demo

Most pilots survive the demo and quietly die by month three. The difference almost always comes down to whether anyone agreed beforehand on what the agent is allowed to get wrong.

Agree the exception path before anything else

Before any build starts, we agree on paper what the agent will not handle and exactly where that work goes instead. The escalation route exists from day one, not month three.

Launch against a set accuracy budget

Every agent operates against a confidence floor. Anything underneath it routes to a person automatically and logs as an exception instead of a guess.

Report the number that holds up

You get hours returned, exceptions handled, and real payback, every month, not the demo-day figure nobody looks at again once the invoice is paid.

What operations teams say once it is live

They were the only ones who told us upfront what the agent would get wrong. Every other vendor showed us a number with no exceptions anywhere in it.

The confidence floor was the entire pitch for us. Claims underneath it never reach the agent at all, so nobody on my team had to take a black box on faith.

Our payback moved from 2.9 months to 3.4 once the exceptions were priced in. I would rather see that number in the proposal than find it later, and this time I did.
