Your Pathfinder ROI. See The Math First.
A transparent model, not a lead-capture trick. Move the inputs, watch the assumptions change, and decide for yourself whether the numbers hold. Roughly 40%+ of the work a Pathfinder can own — finance, HR, sales, marketing, admin — is automatable with today's tooling. This prices what that means for you.
Four inputs. No email required.
Defaults reflect a mid-market team running the functions a Pathfinder typically owns. Recovery rates come from our own engagements — 44% without an AI layer, 62% with one. Adjust anything that doesn't match your reality.
The investment is flat. The return compounds.
Pathfinder cost is linear and the AI build is one-time — so the gap widens every quarter you keep operating. This is the same model as the calculator above, projected across two years.
Default inputs: twenty people, $95k loaded, eight hours lost weekly, two Pathfinders, AI layer on.
Of hours currently lost to manual work. Without an AI layer the same model recovers 44% — still positive, just slower.
Three assumptions, stated plainly.
Every ROI calculator hides its assumptions. Here are ours, so you can argue with them.
We price lost hours at fully loaded salary divided by 2,080 — not base pay. If your overhead multiple is higher, the model is conservative.
We assume 44% of lost hours are recoverable through embedded talent and process alone, 62% when an AI layer is added. Nobody gets to 100%.
Pathfinder seats are priced at $4,500 monthly, fully managed and AI Academy–certified. The AI engagement is a one-time $14,500 that does not recur in year two.
