How to read this: "Your throughput" compares your invoices-per-FTE against a best-in-class benchmark of ~23,333/year. "Projected cost reduction" shows the percentage drop from your current per-invoice cost to the modeled automated cost ($3–$5.50/invoice based on IOFM & Ardent Partners data). These are directional estimates — validate with a live workflow review.
