The five-hour test for AI automation ROI

Before buying more AI tools, run the five-hour test.

The rule

If a workflow cannot plausibly save five hours a week or create measurable revenue, do not automate it yet.

Good candidates

Lead intake, meeting summaries, recurring client updates, support triage, and content outline generation.

Bad candidates

Rare tasks, vague research projects, and workflows where nobody knows what the output should be.
