Add up what a mid-size team does by hand every week: reporting and dashboards (12 hrs), content and asset production (9), system hygiene and cleanup (6), invoices and reconciliation (5), client updates and status docs (4).
That's 36 hours a week, about 4 hours per person across a 9-person team. At a $65/hr blended rate over 48 working weeks, it's $9,360 a month, or $112,320 a year. Call it a fifth of profit on a $560,000 profit year.
The usual response is hiring, but a hire adds capacity without touching the process. The problem is the process, not the people. The hours are already there; they're just spent by hand.
