| Payback period | 4.8 mo | 19.2 mo |
| Net savings (5 yr) | $230,000 | $170,000 |
| ROI (5 yr) | +1150% | +213% |
Estimates labor-cost displacement only — not a full total cost of ownership. Actual ROI depends on integration, maintenance, training, downtime, and task fit. Converted currencies are indicative; USD is the price of record.
