THE PILOT APPROACH

Start with one area.
Measure the whole result.

Choose the area and required drawings and reports. Compare both methods against the same scope, quality checks and delivery costs.

01 / DEFINE

A defined area

Choose an area small enough to inspect completely. Identify the records, access constraints and responsible reviewers.

02 / DELIVER

Comparable outputs

Produce the agreed drawing and report using both approaches. Record failed attempts, reviews and corrections.

03 / DECIDE

Results to guide expansion

Compare accepted quality and full delivery cost. Keep first-job setup separate from assumptions about repeat work.

COMPARE DELIVERY COSTS

Build a pilot brief.

Enter your assumptions and download the comparison. Values stay in this tab until you download them.

Hours for the same deliverable

Leave unknowns blank. Enter zero only when the stage has no work. These are estimates, not measured savings.

Blank stage rates use the shared rate. If both are blank, the cost is unknown. Include the labour costs you intend to compare.

Work stageCurrent methodAssisted method

How much correction could erase the saving?

Complete the main estimate to see the correction allowance.

Leave blank until you have a scenario to test.

This uses the assisted Corrections stage rate, or the shared rate when no override is set. New travel, equipment and access charges must be added separately.

FIRST JOB / REPEAT WORK

When does the investment
start to pay back?

Use the base worksheet above for the first delivery; the optional extra-correction scenario stays separate. Enter setup, repeat delivery and recurring costs to compare a defined program.

Use CAD throughout. Additional setup and recurring costs are included once over this period. Keep them out of the delivery costs above to avoid double counting. Repeat cost means the complete accepted delivery cost of each later job, including review, corrections and any return visits.

Current method

First delivery: unknown

Assisted method

First delivery: unknown

Include migration, training and preparation in setup. Include licences, hosting, storage, equipment and support in recurring costs. Use your own quotes and estimates.

Repeat costs remain unknown until you enter them or explicitly copy a worksheet estimate.

Complete the first-job worksheet and program inputs.

Unknown

The job threshold holds these costs constant. It does not estimate sales, calendar payback, financing, tax or field quality. A one-job comparison can be complete while repeat costs remain unknown.

DECIDE WHETHER TO EXPAND

Check the result
before expanding.

Use the delivered work and recorded costs to answer these questions.

Coverage and identity

Were all required assets and locations addressed? Count missed, inaccessible and disputed items in the result. Record the applicable drawing and source revisions.

Drawing and report quality

Did independent checks meet the agreed task requirements? Could the recipient use the delivered files? Record corrections and unresolved findings.

Complete delivery cost

Include capture, inspection, reconstruction, drawing, review, rework, equipment and acceptance. Separate first-job setup from a repeat-job estimate.

Operational fit

Test the handoff, field conditions, reviewer responsibilities and data route. Identify who can maintain the record after the pilot team leaves.

Before expanding: confirm that the owner accepts the deliverable, major gaps are resolved and the complete cost supports the next scope. Record the result even when it shows no saving.
