Put a number on drift

instrument CV.I · continuous reading

The plan says one thing. The floor does another. The ledger finds out later. Read what it is worth to keep all three true—with cash savings, working capacity and operational upside kept on separate gauges.

How labor is calculated

Technicians: people × minutes per workday × five days × operating weeks × loaded rate. Weekly roles: people × hours per week × operating weeks × loaded rate. Cultivo's capture rate is applied once; only the redeployed share enters modeled annual value.

Workload Cultivo captures60%Core defaults to 35%; governed agent workflows increase the portion that can happen without opening another system. Released time productively redeployed75%The remainder stays visible as capacity, but is not included in modeled annual value.

Otto's contribution lives in the workload-capture gauge—not in magic math. Need evidence first? A 90-day agentic proof is scoped at $15,000–$18,000 with baselines, event receipts and a value reading.

Illustrative estimate, not a guarantee. Capacity becomes cash only when payroll, overtime or contractor spend changes—or when the time is redeployed into measured output. Avoided hire and strategic upside are excluded unless you enter and qualify them.

Market reference

Peer cannabis operations vendors publish examples of roughly 125–200 staff hours per month returned. This model starts from your actual roles and discounts that workload by Cultivo's capture and redeployment rates.
