A worked estimate · Singapore

How much time does this actually give back?

You work 42 hours a week. Only 10 are spent with a client. The other 32 go on admin, follow-ups and remembering who needs you. We give 12.1 of them back.

Where the hours come from, and what does the work

Eight activities, each decomposed into the loops it repeats in a week. Every saving names the surface responsible. Most of it is servicing the clients you already have — we are not a lead machine, and this is what we are instead.

Five things get harder, and that is the point

Not everything shrinks. In five of those eight activities the work that survives takes longer than it did, because what is left is the part a licensed person is paid for.

Notes, records and files

Reading and signing off what it wrote

Recording minutes are metered, nothing lifted counts until you confirm it, and you still read and sign off what it assembled.

Claims and lapses

Judging the case and holding the deadline

The representative is never the claim submitter, and deadline custody is irrecoverable, so it stays with a human by design.

Looking things up

Checking the answer is right

Library search and per-client reads are metered, and a comparison is only as good as the document behind it.

Deciding who to call

Judging who actually deserves a call

It ranks, it does not dial. Choosing who actually deserves the call is still yours, and it is most of what is left.

Asking for introductions

Deciding whether to ask at all

It counts records and never money, nobody is sized by what they pay, and every route out of it is an introduction rather than a number to dial.

How this was worked out

None of this is measured from your workspace, and we would rather say so than let you find out. It is a model, and here is every assumption in it.

  • The week comes from published research, not from us. About 42 working hours, roughly 10 of them client-facing, and about two hours of preparation and follow-up behind every hour spent in front of somebody. Singapore adds the fact-find, the needs analysis and the five-year advice record on top, so the admin column here is if anything light.
  • Each activity is decomposed, then subtracted. Every one is broken into the loops it repeats in a week, with a minute count before and after. The percentage falls out of the subtraction rather than being declared.
  • A 35% haircut is applied at the end. Nobody gets the designed saving: there is partial use, a learning curve, and the review step where you read what was drafted. The pessimistic case is about 7.5 hours a week rather than 12.1.
  • The new-business share is split per activity, not per card. Meeting preparation is 38% new business and answering messages is about 10%. Filing whole activities into one column would tidy the chart by making it wrong.
  • The assumption most worth arguing with is that the assistant answers about 45% of inbound messages on its own. It is the single biggest lever here. Push it down and the total falls with it.
  • Three of the biggest savers are metered on the free plan. Replies, recorded minutes and library search all count against a lifetime allowance, so a free workspace saves meaningfully less than this.

Setup is seven steps, not an afternoon

Your licensed identity, the assistant, WhatsApp, your calendar, your page, your first clients and one policy document. The longest of them is connecting WhatsApp, because it runs on your own number and that number has to be cleared first.
