How Does the Example Work?
Sonoran Logistics has a sample hiring notice dated October 8, 2026. It lists 85 staff and a new dispatch team. The November 2025 directory lists 42 staff.
Select Prepare the account brief. The result uses the current signal and flags the older count. Its opener asks about the dispatch handoff. It does not claim that hiring proves purchase intent.
Inspect HIRING-108 and DIRECTORY-042. Choose Approve the outreach brief after checking the evidence. The receipt names Mateo and ACCOUNT-108. Its next step is to confirm the dispatch handoff.
The simulation sends no outreach and makes no external research call. Missing evidence blocks approval.
What Potential ROI Could This Produce?
At 50% adoption, this example releases 50 hours monthly. Assisted time includes human review.
Labor proxy: sales and related occupations. May 2025 BLS US means: $26.43/hour.
June 2026 US compensation supports a rounded 1.43 wages-plus-benefits factor.
| Input | Illustrative assumption |
|---|---|
| Monthly account briefs | 300 |
| Minutes, manual → assisted | 30 → 10 |
| Build and internal rollout | $6,000 |
| Monthly operations | $575 |
| Potential value | US example |
|---|---|
| Hourly wages + benefits | $37.79 |
| Monthly capacity value | $1,890 |
| Monthly net capacity value | $1,315 |
| First-year capacity ROI | 76% |
| Simple payback, months | 4.6 |
First-year cost: $12,900. Build assumes $5,000 service fees after credit and $1,000 internal rollout. Adoption is constant from month one. Slower adoption lowers returns. Long payback periods are mathematical extensions, not forecasts.
The $575 allowance covers research tools, data, models, hosting, and internal support. No email campaign is included.
Released capacity is not automatic cash savings. These inputs are illustrative, not a Ship AI Studio quote. Internal support is included; optional $999/month AI Operations is extra. Use the ROI guide to replace assumptions.
What Needs Human Review?
The representative checks source dates and the opener. Measure accepted briefs, corrections, and research time. Sales Navigator with a manual CRM brief can suffice. Buy more tools only when the missing step is clear.
Start with a Paid AI Assessment
Bring one target segment to the AI Assessment. We test source coverage, accepted briefs, credit use, and CRM handoff costs. The $1,500 AI Assessment takes one week. Receive a process map, ROI estimate, and build plan. The result is a fixed Build Sprint scope or a reason not to build.
The fee is credited toward a $5,000 Build Sprint starting within 30 days. Review the AI Assessment scope.
