Most automation calculators are salesmen. AI-Threshold isn't.

AI-Threshold answers one question honestly: should you automate this repetitive task — and if so, when does it pay off? It is built to be played with, and it is willing to tell you not yet, or not worth it.

Why it exists

Every ROI calculator is built to say yes. They assume automation is free to build, instant to maintain, and that every minute saved turns into money. None of that is true. AI-Threshold models setup overruns, residual human work, and opportunity cost, then is honest about uncertainty.

How to read the verdict

• Automate it. — worth doing, and it pays back comfortably inside your window.
• Probably worth it. — the maths says yes, but the margin is thin or uncertain.
• Not yet. — it would pay back, just not inside your horizon.
• Don't — it'll change first. — an off-the-shelf tool will likely do this before a custom build pays for itself.
• Not worth it. — running it automated costs more than you would save.

Who it's for

Small-business owners and operators weighing whether to build, buy, delegate, or keep doing a task by hand. You do not need exact numbers — give a range where unsure.

Who made it

AI-Threshold is a research/tools piece by LogicaLeap, a software studio that builds exactly this kind of automation.
