How we calculate this
Every activity has an hour value per process of medium complexity, by hand and with patchley. The calculator multiplies it by the number of processes and, where it applies, by the interviews, review rounds or changes, and by the complexity factor. Change any value to match your own experience.
| Activity | What the hours cover | By hand (h) | With patchley (h) | Counted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Picking the process, scheduling the people, reading what already exists. The entry in the process register takes minutes; scheduling stays. | per process | ||
| Interviews and workshops | A two-hour session plus, by hand, preparing it and writing up the notes. In patchley the diagram builds during the session and is the record. | per interview | ||
| Modelling the BPMN diagram | Drawing the As-Is after the workshop takes about three days by hand. In patchley you check and tidy a diagram that already exists: a tenth of the time. | per process | ||
| Review rounds | Comments, corrections and a new version, about a day per round by hand. In patchley the changes are made on the shared diagram, often during the call. | per round | ||
| Sign-off | Preparing and holding the sign-off with the process owner. In patchley the owner agrees on the diagram everyone has already seen. | per process | ||
| Analyses per step | Pain points, times and costs, SOP and controls take three to five days by hand. In patchley they are drafted on the diagram; the hours are for your review. | per process | ||
| Results deck | Findings and business case slides take two to three days by hand. In patchley the deck fills from the analyses; the hours are for your review. | per process | ||
| Keeping it up to date | Redrawing and approving again after the process changes. In patchley you change the diagram and the analyses follow. | per change |
