Every task goes through the 3-question test: does it happen every week, does it start the same way every time, and would you catch a mistake in under a minute?

Machine

Passes all three. Counts the time saved, minus 1 min per run to check it.

Delete

Nobody would notice if you stopped. All of its time counts.

Pipe it

AI drafts, you check. Shown, but not in the total.

Human

Needs you (or happens too rarely). Not counted.

Per year = per week × 52 · Work weeks = ÷ 40 h · Kill first = the fastest payback on setup time.

Limits. Default times are rough guesses, so change them. A MACHINE stamp means a task fits automation, not that your company allows it. Want more control? Try the Leverage Audit. Nothing you tick leaves your browser.
