When you’re building a SaaS or startup, you probably have some kind of revenue forecast. Maybe even a spreadsheet predicting churn, CAC, and MRR growth over the next 12 months.
But here’s what most founders don’t forecast:
How many hours you’re burning on manual work.
Think about how many tasks in your business still rely on you or your team doing things manually—like recruiting new team members, onboarding them, or juggling candidates in a spreadsheet.
That might feel manageable early on, but every one of those tasks eats time. And time is money—especially when you’re small and trying to move fast.
Let’s say you spend 15 hours per hire without a proper recruitment workflow. Multiply that by 3–4 hires per year, and suddenly you’ve sunk a whole week of founder time into something that could’ve been streamlined or automated.
