It is a scoping tool that happens to be free. You get the task worth automating first, what it costs you today, and a realistic build window. If nothing you do is worth automating yet, the assessment says so. What happens to my answers? They go to our team by email so a person reads them before any call. We do not sell them and we do not add you to a list you did not ask for. How accurate is the cost figure? It is a floor, not a quote. We multiply the hours you report by $40 an hour across a year, which ignores rework, delayed responses, and the work nobody gets to. The real number is usually higher. What if my task is not on the list? Choose Something else and finish anyway. The scoring still works, and your answers tell us enough to scope a custom agent on the call. ## Already know what you want to _automate?_ [Start a conversation](https://edgeware.global/contact-us/)
