Complete Analysis: Baseline + Organizational Reality Scenarios
This framework provides evidence-based guidance for document classification and metadata extraction, presenting both baseline single-user assumptions and extended organizational reality scenarios for GEMADEPT’s 40-department structure.
Baseline Scenario (Conservative):
Organizational Reality Scenarios (Extended Analysis):
Assumptions (Conservative Baseline):
Baseline Financial Analysis:
Manual processing: 3,000 docs × 5 minutes = 250 hours annually
Labor cost: 250 hours × $4.35/hour = $1,087.50
Automated processing: 3,000 docs × 1 minute = 50 hours annually
Automated labor cost: 50 hours × $4.35/hour = $217.50
Labor savings: $1,087.50 - $217.50 = $870
Technology cost: 6,000 pages × $0.005 = $30
Net savings: $870 - $30 = $840 annually
Organizational Scope Assessment: [5]
Extended Financial Analysis (Conservative):
Distributed processing calculation:
40 people × 20 minutes/day × 250 working days = 200,000 minutes = 3,333 hours
Manual labor cost: 3,333 hours × $4.35/hour = $14,500
Automated processing (80% reduction): 3,333 × 0.2 = 667 hours
Automated labor cost: 667 hours × $4.35/hour = $2,901
Labor savings: $14,500 - $2,901 = $11,599
Technology cost: $30 (unchanged)
Net savings: $11,599 - $30 = $11,569
Implementation cost: $40,000 (change management, training)
Year 1 net: $11,569 - $40,000 = -$28,431
Break-even: Month 42
Organizational Scope Assessment: [5]
Extended Financial Analysis (Realistic):
Distributed processing calculation:
80 people × 15 minutes/day × 250 working days = 300,000 minutes = 5,000 hours
Manual labor cost: 5,000 hours × $4.35/hour = $21,750
Automated processing (80% reduction): 5,000 × 0.2 = 1,000 hours
Automated labor cost: 1,000 hours × $4.35/hour = $4,350
Labor savings: $21,750 - $4,350 = $17,400
Technology cost: $30 (unchanged)
Net savings: $17,400 - $30 = $17,370
Implementation cost: $50,000 (enterprise change management)
Year 1 net: $17,370 - $50,000 = -$32,630
Break-even: Month 35
Organizational Scope Assessment: [5]
Extended Financial Analysis (High Impact):
Distributed processing calculation:
120 people × 12 minutes/day × 250 working days = 360,000 minutes = 6,000 hours
Manual labor cost: 6,000 hours × $4.35/hour = $26,100
Automated processing (80% reduction): 6,000 × 0.2 = 1,200 hours
Automated labor cost: 1,200 hours × $4.35/hour = $5,220
Labor savings: $26,100 - $5,220 = $20,880
Technology cost: $30 (unchanged)
Net savings: $20,880 - $30 = $20,850
Implementation cost: $62,000 (full enterprise transformation)
Year 1 net: $20,850 - $62,000 = -$41,150
Break-even: Month 36
