/02Value model

Model the value of Arthur

A transparent sketch — monthly service plan versus a typical in-house capacity benchmark, adjusted for the volume you expect Arthur to absorb. Adjust the sliders until the story matches your operation.

01

£1,000 / month (Flat Rate)

Predictable monthly plan

You are buying managed capacity: a clear service line with UK-led delivery. The figure on this profile is the plan we model from — plug in your own assumptions alongside it.

02

Payback sketch

When does the model break even?

Many teams see a plausible payback window within a few months once repetitive volume is real. Treat the figure as a conversation starter with finance — not a forecast.

03

UK context

Built for UK compliance

Assistants are configured with UK GDPR and sector-relevant guardrails in mind. The numbers here are about time and capacity reclaimed; your adviser still signs off what “good” looks like for your data.
