Workflow Automation ROI: A Practical Measurement Model

RGRohan GuptaNovember 8, 20257 min read

Most automation programs fail at measurement, not technology. Before building, baseline four metrics: cycle time, touch count, error rate, and cost per transaction. Improvements in these four numbers translate directly to financial ROI and are defensible in board conversations.

We recommend a 2-week baseline sprint before any build work begins. The discipline pays for itself: teams with baselines expand automation 3x faster because success is provable.
