Operator Playbook: what to automate first, what to never automate
1
Start with what you do daily, not weekly. The compound math comes from frequency.
A 4-minute task done 5 times a day eats more hours per year than a 40-minute task done once a week. Frequency wins.
2
Automate the message templating, not the message strategy. AI is excellent at drafting,
scheduling, and triaging. It is dangerous at deciding "do we offer this customer a refund." Keep the judgment calls human.
3
Phone answering, intake, and confirmations are the highest ROI starting points.
They run during business hours, after hours, and weekends. Coverage gaps disappear overnight when an AI voice agent picks up.
4
Measure in hours back, not "AI conversations." Vanity metrics like calls handled per day
do not prove ROI. The real test is whether a human stopped doing that task. If a human is still backstopping every output, automation has not landed yet.
5
NEVER automate final-stage refunds, hiring decisions, legal correspondence, or medical guidance.
These are jobs for licensed humans with accountability. AI drafts. Humans sign.

What formula is this using under the hood?
For each task:
weekly_hours = (minutes_per_task x tasks_per_week) / 60,
then annual_hours = weekly_hours x 52,
then annual_hours_saved = annual_hours x (automation_percent / 100),
and finally annual_dollars_saved = annual_hours_saved x hourly_cost.
Totals sum across all tasks. FTE equivalent is annual hours saved divided by 2,080 (one full-time human-year).Why the 90% default automation coverage per task?
For well-scoped repeatable workflows (intake calls, confirmations, status updates, FAQ answering, triage),
90% is the realistic ceiling Nirvani sees across production deploys. The remaining 10% covers true edge cases
that route to a human. Tasks involving judgment, escalation, or unhappy customers should be modeled lower, around 40 to 60%.
Drag the per-task slider to be conservative.
Should I use a low or high hourly cost?
Use the fully-loaded number. That means wage plus payroll taxes (about 8%), benefits (typically 18 to 25%),
and overhead (workspace, tools, training). A $20 per hour front-desk wage is closer to $32 to $38 fully loaded.
If a real human stops doing the task, the ROI math should reflect what that human actually costs your business per hour, not their take-home rate.
Does this assume I fire someone?
No. The smartest deploys redeploy the hours back into higher-leverage work: outbound, retention, hospitality, upsell, training,
back-office cleanup. The calculator measures hours bought back. What you do with the hours is the operator's call.
Most clients reinvest the time into revenue motions that compound, which is where automation actually pays for itself five and ten times over.
Why is platform cost only $444 per month?
N1 is the entry tier on Nirvani at $444 per month, all-in. It includes voice agent, SMS automation, CRM, scheduling,
reputation management, and the analytics layer. The math in this calculator nets that monthly cost out of annual dollars saved
so payback is honest. If your number reads "less than 1 day payback," that is correct: a single automated task at scale often pays for the whole stack in under a week.
