What does re-keying actually cost you?
You can put a real number on it, because the cost of re-keying is four numbers you already have: submissions per month, how many systems each one is typed into, minutes per re-key, and the loaded hourly cost of the person doing the typing. Multiply them and you get hours per month; price the hours and annualize, and you get the budget line. The calculator below does exactly that arithmetic, from your inputs only, in your browser, with no benchmarks hiding underneath.
Your four numbers in. Your cost out.
The placeholders below are examples (marked “e.g.”), not defaults and not benchmarks. The outputs stay blank until you type your own numbers, everything on this page is computed from what you enter, and nothing else.
And every re-key is an error opportunity. You know your own incident rate.
The hours in that box are the mundane, redundant work itself, priced: the same submission typed again, the same field chased again, the same match made again. That is the work an AI Operational Workforce takes over, with feedback loops that catch the errors re-keying creates, while your underwriter still owns every decision that touches rating or binding.
Show the math
Duplicate entries per submission = systems − 1. The first time a submission is typed in, that's data entry; only the copies after it are re-keying, so the first system doesn't count against you.
Hours per month = submissions × (systems − 1) × minutes per re-key ÷ 60
Monthly cost = hours per month × loaded hourly cost
Annual cost = monthly cost × 12
This calculator stores nothing and sends nothing. The arithmetic runs entirely in your browser, and your numbers never leave it. There is no form submission, no analytics event on these fields, and no server on the other end.
You've priced the problem. Now run the fix.
We stand up a working system on the re-keying path you just costed, and you operate it in production for 30 days, real submissions, your team, a person owning every decision that touches rating or binding. You see what the budget line above actually does before you pay anything. The monthly rate starts after the trial.
