Worth its price: the time each tool must save.

Is it worth what it costs? The measure is the time it could save, against the usage read in your company.

For each tool and each agent

  • For a licensed tool: the time each person who uses it must save per month for the tool to cover its price (cost read, divided by the number of people who use it, divided by a reference or declared hourly cost).
  • For an agent: the minutes it must save per successful task, next to the time that task takes in the company today, entered and dated before deployment.

Four answers, never a percentage

  • Worth its price, even in the cautious case.
  • Worth its price if usage follows.
  • Not worth its price, even in the favorable case.
  • Too early to tell: usage not read or time not entered.

The counter gives the number of tools and agents per answer. Never a total, never a return percentage.

A worked example

Examples, illustrative figures, for an hourly cost of €40: an agent that costs €800 per month and completes 1,200 tasks must save one minute per successful task. For a licensed tool: “Copilot costs you €52 per month for each person who uses it. Each of them must save about 1 h 20 per month for it to be worth its price.”

Benchmarks, always labeled

“Measured elsewhere”: a published range, sourced, dated. “Announced by the vendor”: its figure, with its source. Never mixed with what is read in your company.

What Ojja does not do

Ojja does not measure the performance of a team or a person. It reads usage and cost, and applies a public method.

Usage is read per tool, never per person, and is never reported for a group of fewer than ten people.

Frequently asked questions

How do you know whether an AI tool is worth its price?
Divide what it costs by the number of people who actually use it, then by an hourly cost: you get the time each of them must save per month. Ojja reads cost and usage in your tools and does this calculation for each one.
Where does the time a task takes today come from?
From you: it is entered and dated before the agent is deployed. Without it, the answer stays “too early to tell”.
Why not a return percentage?
Because no tool reads it. What can be read is cost and usage; the time it could save follows, with its assumptions shown.
