Your client is going to ask for the AI discount.

One in three agencies has already been asked. Work out what the number actually is before someone else picks it for you.

Your work

Where do you actually use AI?60% of delivery
Pre-AI share · AI multiplier4 of 7 selected

The percentages are your baseline before AI, not today’s split. If AI now does all your code review, that is the result. The 8% is what review used to cost you.

How far along are you?

Scales how much of each multiplier you actually realise. Backfiringhappens: METR’s 2025 randomised trial found experienced developers took 19% longer with AI, while believing they had been about 20% faster.

How you bill

Blended across the team, not your top rate card line.

Effective output divided by human hours.

Revenue that stops appearing on invoices

€931,392

7,762 hours a year · rolling out

This is also, precisely, the number your client will point at.

Hourly billing turns leverage into deflation.

You free 7,762 hours. Unless you sell every one of them to new work, that capacity leaves as a smaller invoice, not a bigger margin. When the client asks you to pass on the AI savings, €931,392 is the number in the room, except neither of you can see it, so the argument gets settled by whoever sounds more confident.

How professions compare

The ceiling differs by profession. The share anyone has claimed does not.

Each bar runs to that profession’s ceiling, the most leverage its work mix can ever allow. The filled part is what the typical mix actually reaches at the maturity you selected. The gap is the unclaimed remainder.

Modelled, not measured. These are our assumptions about each profession’s work mix.

The estimate

Ticked boxes

You answered from memory. Useful for a direction, thin in a client meeting.

The measurement

Your timesheets

The real ratio is already sitting in two places that have never been joined: the hours your team logs, and what your agents actually ran. WhoWorked puts them on one record, so the next rate conversation runs on evidence.
