Field notes
The page exposes its calculation steps, from average minutes per invoice through cost, savings, payback and three-year ROI. It specifically treats exception work as a separate source of time and cost, with examples including missing purchase orders, mismatches and absent approvals. The site says the calculator makes no network requests; shared scenarios place their inputs after the # in the URL.
