Methodology: weekly hours = weekly requests × average minutes ÷ 60. Annual labor-time value = weekly hours × working weeks × fully loaded hourly cost. Capacity opportunity = annual value × assumed addressable share. This is an illustrative scenario based on your inputs, not a measurement of actual financial loss, a forecast of revenue, or a promise of cash savings. Avoid double-counting repeated questions already included in your weekly request estimate.
