A browser-based instrument for deciding whether a recurring AI task is worth turning into a reusable workflow.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

ThatIf models a recurring job as a comparison between a named baseline and one or more proposed approaches. Its example uses 15 runs per month, an eight-month horizon, 30 minutes per manual run, and six minutes per assisted run; the displayed preference changes at 2.94 runs per month. The page says the calculation does not assess quality, safety, vendor reliability, or whether delegation is acceptable, and that the inputs remain in the browser.
