Self-administered audit

The $50K Calendar Audit

Drop in a typical week of your calendar. Tag each block by what an hour of that work is actually worth. Find out exactly how much money you are bleeding into sub-$50/hr tasks every year.

How to use this

  1. Open your calendar from last week. Pick a typical week, not a holiday or vacation week.
  2. Add one row per recurring activity. Group similar things together (one row for "answering email," one for "billable client work," and so on).
  3. For each row, enter how many hours per week you spend on it.
  4. Tag each block by what one hour of that work is actually worth. Use the five buckets: $20, $50, $100, $200, $500. Be honest. Most owners over-estimate.
  5. The number at the bottom updates as you go. It tells you how much money you are losing every year by doing sub-$50/hr work yourself.
What you do Hours / week $ / hour bucket
You are bleeding
$0
per year into sub-$50/hr work that someone (or something) else could do for you.
Total weekly hours tracked: 0
Hours / week in sub-$50/hr work: 0
Weekly cost of sub-$50/hr work: $0
The annual figure: $0 per week × 50 working weeks per year = $0 per year. (50 weeks excludes typical vacation and holiday time.)

Now do something about it.

Your number is real. It is a measurable amount of money you lose every year doing work that does not need you to do it. The Founder Launch installs an AI Digital Worker that takes the sub-$50/hr work off your plate. The math: cost is $1,800/mo. If your number is above $22K/yr, you are at breakeven before month 13. Most pilots hit breakeven in the first 30 days.
