Value model · Modeled estimates, November 2026

Up to 10 hours back, per person, every week.

Mission Control moves the repetitive work to an AI crew and puts your tools and data in one place. Here is what that is worth in time, in the work your people do with it, and in what you stop paying for.

Time back per personUp to 10.5 hrsTypical 6.1 hrs a week

Work weeks back a yearUp to 12Typical 7 weeks

Value of that timeUp to $22,700Typical $13,100 a year

More bookings per sellerUp to $113KTypical $46K a year

Up to a quarter of the workweek back.
Pays for itself up to 9 times over in software and AI savings alone.
A 25-person association gets back up to 6.6 people's worth of time a year.
A 100-person organization gets back up to 26 people's worth of time a year.
Pays for itself in days, not months.

Section 02 · Value created

The time is worth most in the work only people can do.

Up to half of the freed hours, about 242 a year per person, move to the work each role was hired for. This is what an hour of it is worth.

Role	Where the time goes	Per hour	Up to, per person a year	Typical
Sales and business development	Selling: calls, meetings and proposals	$469 in bookings	$113,332	$45,674
Sponsorships and partnerships	Selling sponsorships and partner deals	$422 in bookings	$101,999	$41,106
Leadership	Strategy, key relationships and decisions	$360	$87,039	$35,077
Member success and account management	Renewals, at-risk accounts and expansion	$141	$34,011	$13,706
Marketing	Campaigns, content and demand	$94	$22,674	$9,138
Operations, programs, finance and admin	Programs and service instead of busywork	$47	$11,337	$4,569

Section 03 · By organization

What it adds up to in a year.

Capacity is the time back counted in full-time people. Value created is what the redeployed time is worth by role.

Up to
Organization	Hours back	Capacity	Value created	Software and AI savings	Risk avoided
Small business, 10 people	4,836	2.6 people	$427,073	$21,000	$3,350
Association, 25 staff	12,089	6.6 people	$706,847	$52,500	$8,375
Growing business, 50 people	24,178	13.1 people	$1,821,661	$105,000	$16,750
Midsize organization, 100 people	48,355	26.3 people	$3,510,972	$210,000	$33,500

Section 04 · Where the time comes from

Four places the week leaks.

Less app switchingOne Flight Deck
1.6 to 2.4 hrs
Less searchingAll company data in one place
1.5 to 2.3 hrs
Repetitive tasks handed offThe AI crew
3.0 to 5.0 hrs
Clean, connected dataGroundwork
1.0 to 2.0 hrs

Typical Up to · hours a week per person, modeled from the research in the table below

Lever	In Mission Control	What the research says	Typical, hrs a week	Up to
Less app switching	One Flight Deck	About 4 hours a week are lost to toggling between apps (Harvard Business Review)	1.6	2.4
Less searching	All company data in one place	19% of the workweek goes to searching for information (McKinsey)	1.5	2.3
Repetitive tasks handed off	The AI crew	AI users save about 2.2 hours a week on average (St. Louis Fed); 58% save 5 or more (BCG)	3.0	5.0
Clean, connected data	Groundwork	Newer sellers lose about 2 hours a week to manual data entry (Salesforce)	1.0	2.0

Risk: Steward, Go / No-go and the Mission Log keep AI use approved and on the record. Breaches with heavy shadow AI cost $670,000 more on average (IBM 2025). We model a 1% yearly chance of an AI incident per 10 staff, cut by 30% to 50%.
AI spend: Budgets with hard stops, per-agent spend and your own keys. Organizations estimate 29% of cloud spend is wasted as AI grows (Flexera 2026). We model 9 to 14 points of that waste removed.
Software: Built-in tools replace 30% to 40% of what an organization spends on software, at $4,830 per employee a year (Zylo 2025). The 2026 median is $9,455, so this is cautious.
Data quality: Poor data quality costs organizations $12.9 million a year on average (Gartner). We count Groundwork as time saved, not as a second dollar figure.

Section 05 · Method

How we count.

These are modeled estimates from published research, not measured results. Your results will vary with your team and how you use it.
Time is valued at $46.89 an hour, the average US employer cost per hour worked in private industry (BLS, June 2026). A work year is 46 weeks of 40 hours.
The up to case assumes 90% of people use it and half of the freed hours move to the work each role was hired for. The typical case assumes 85% and 35%.
Sales value is bookings, not profit: quotas run 4.6 times on-target earnings (Bridge Group 2026), sellers spend 40% of their time selling (Salesforce 2026), and we assume 75% of quota pace on a $100,000 OTE.
Value per hour for leadership (3x a $120 executive hour), account management (3x cost), marketing (2x cost) and operations (1x cost) is our assumption.
We count either the cost of time saved or the value of the time redeployed, never both. Organization totals use value created plus software, AI spend and risk savings.
Once early access organizations are live, every crew agent's scorecard tracks time saved, and we'll publish measured results here.
