Frequently Asked Questions

How is AI Automation ROI calculated?

ROI is measured by taking the gross labor hours saved across your team multiplied by the fully loaded employee cost, minus the subscription and compute fees required to run the automated operator. The formula is: ((Annual Labor Savings - Annual Tooling Cost) / Annual Tooling Cost) * 100.

Why not 100% full automation?

High-performing enterprise deployments utilize human-in-the-loop approval gates for non-standard requests, compliance checks, and financial transactions. Aiming for 60% to 80% routine automation delivers maximum ROI while eliminating brand or financial risk.

How fast can we see positive ROI?

Most Kernolix customers achieve full payback within the first 2 to 4 weeks of deployment because AI agents eliminate immediate backlog bottlenecks without requiring new headcount.
