What could your team do with more capacity?

Start with your enquiries, live projects and recurring preparation work. Account for adoption and the checking time that remains. This workload model values possible capacity, not a measured saving or a promise of extra revenue.

01 / Your workload
Your workload
Include directors, engineers and support staff. This determines pricing; engineer workload is entered separately.
Actual engineering workforce for the workload model. Total firm people, including support staff, determines the plan.
Projects requiring design, delivery or commercial administration.
Include DNO enquiries, applications and requests for a quotation.
Checks of the records your team is responsible for reviewing.
Use the consultancy fee, not construction value.
Evidence and contractual workload
02 / The time available
The time available
Included within the total workload below, not added again.
Include any out-of-hours work counted in the admin total.
Your total across all six functions, including out-of-hours work. This bounds the estimate.
03 / Calculation assumptions
Calculation assumptions
100% uses the inherited task assumptions in full. This is a scenario, not a measured result.
Deducted from prepared time before reporting recovery.
46.4 weeks is the existing illustrative assumption, now used consistently.
Used only when the DNO frameworks option is selected.
An editable valuation assumption, not money received.
Applied to the evening-time allocation within the total, not added as extra hours.
The rate applied to people and administration capacity.
The rate applied to finance and commercial capacity.
04 / Costs and commercial scenarios
Costs and commercial scenarios
Azure, AI consumption, licence uplift and other costs. Blank means unknown.
OpsWork charges no setup fee. Enter your own internal setup costs, including zero if known; blank remains unknown.
Separate from the capacity valuation. Use an achievable fee rate.
Starts at zero. Additional paid work requires demand.
After the incremental costs of delivering that work.
A separate scenario: only expenditure you can actually stop paying.

Equivalent to 21.9 eight-hour days a year. Illustrative decision volume: 46/week. These are modelling assumptions, not observed activity.

Value the capacity

A valuation of time at your entered rates. It is not cash saved, fees earned or a reduction in payroll.

Capacity value less subscription
£190,030

The lower and higher cases use the original sensitivity factors, with the same workload bound and review deduction. The last figure excludes environment costs and is not net profit.

Costs incomplete

Prices exclude VAT. A cost expressed in hours is a comparison, not financial break-even. OpsWork charges no setup fee. Enter operating and your own internal setup costs for complete first-year figures. Annual prepayment is optional and costs ten monthly payments; this model compares twelve monthly payments.

Separate cash-avoidance scenario after costs

Additional paid work requires demand and delivery margin. Cash avoidance is a separate view. Do not add these figures to capacity value or to each other.

Your own Azure and Microsoft AI costs are additional: plan for approximately £100–£800/month. This is an estimate, not a cap; heavy usage, active HSM keys and optional services may cost more. Microsoft 365 licences are separate. Confirm your workload before installation.
