The Business Hours Scorecard
For each job, slide the bar to the total hours it takes everyone in the business, you included, in a normal week. It takes about five minutes. Your results show as you go, and you can send them to me at the end if you'd like my view.
Best guesses are fine. Leave anything you don't do at zero.
01The jobs
Where do the hours go?
Count the daytime hours here. Your evening catch up goes in step 02, so nothing is counted twice. For each job, also say whether a first draft written by AI, for you to check and send, could help.

What you could hand to AI first
Your three biggest jobs where a first draft could help. In each one, AI drafts and you check and send.
Slide a job above zero and mark it Yes or Maybe, and ideas show here.
These are your own estimates, not a promise of time saved. If you book one, a start session (a paid session of about two hours, from £350) looks at your real week properly.
04Want my view?
Send me your results.
I'll read them myself and email you a short note on where AI could help first, within working days. You get nothing else unless you tick the box for follow up emails or ask for a call.
Pressing this opens a short form, run by Tally (an online form service), with your answers filled in. Tally receives your answers when the form opens, and keeps them only if you then press the submit button at the bottom of the form.
The form is run by Tally, which stores your answers for me. Read the privacy notice.
