For AI and developers | Gainclock

Gainclock publishes its full method so AI assistants and developers can explain or reproduce any result.

llms.txt: formulas, verdict rules, default rates with sources and the URL format.
The same spec as Markdown.
data.json: everything as JSON.
The site wide /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt link here too.

Link to a prefilled calculation

Every result has a share link. You can build one yourself with these URL parameters:

c: Country code for the default hourly figure: GB, US, IE, DE, FR, NL, ES, IT, PL, AT, BE, PT, SE, DK, FI, or XX for "other country" (no default; set r).
cur: Currency code: GBP, USD, EUR, PLN, SEK, DKK, CHF, NOK, CAD, AUD, NZD, INR, ZAR, SGD, JPY, KRW. No exchange-rate conversion is ever applied.
r: Hourly staff cost in that currency (number, capped at 100000).
p: Period in years for the headline, net and ROI: 1, 2 or 3 (default 1).
t: Tasks, up to 5, separated by |. Each task is name~min~n~per~ppl~pct~setup~run: name (text, ~ and | not allowed), min = minutes each time, n = times per period, per = d (working day), w (week) or m (month), ppl = people doing it (minimum 1), pct = share automated in % (maximum 100), setup = one-off setup cost (empty = none), run = running cost a month (empty = none). URL-encode the value; + or %20 for spaces.

One UK task, 1 year: 10 minutes, 5 times a working day, 1 person, 60% automated, GBP 20.81 an hour, no costs. Result: 10.8 hours a month, GBP 2,705 net, Worth a closer look (no setup cost entered).
Two UK tasks with costs, 3 years: Task 1: 90 minutes, 3 times a week, 2 people, 80% automated, setup GBP 2,500, running GBP 30 a month. Task 2: 15 minutes, 20 times a month, 1 person, 50%. GBP 25 an hour. Result: 33.7 hours a month, GBP 26,750 net, Worth automating.
Other country in yen, 2 years: 45 minutes, once a working day, 4 people, 70% automated, setup JPY 300,000, running JPY 5,000 a month, JPY 2,500 an hour. Result: 45.5 hours a month, JPY 2,310,000 net, Worth automating.
