Frequently Asked Questions
What is a value driver tree?▾
A value driver tree breaks a company's profit down into the operational drivers that create it — revenue levers, margin levers, and cost levers — so you can see exactly where a small operational change produces an outsized profit impact. It's a standard tool in management consulting and M&A valuation; this version applies it to SME workflow automation.
How does the tool estimate the value of automation?▾
It combines your admin hours and hourly cost with benchmark automation reductions (40–70% depending on workflow type), and adds conservative revenue-side uplifts of 1–3% of gross profit where automation demonstrably improves win rates or retention — for example faster quote turnaround. All figures are estimates for prioritisation, not guarantees.
Why does a value driver tree help me decide what to automate first?▾
Most businesses automate whatever feels most annoying. A value driver tree instead shows every workflow's £-per-year leverage side by side, on both the cost and revenue branches — so you start with the change that moves profit the most, not the one that shouts loudest.
Is my data stored when I use this tool?▾
The tree is calculated entirely in your browser. We only store your details if you choose to request the full report by email — in which case we save your name, email, and the results so we can send them to you.
