AI Return on Investment (ROI)

Conservative estimate: If SilverWing's Jumpstart Package saves just 2 hours/week for 5 employees, that’s:

2 hrs × 5 staff × 52 weeks = 520 hours saved annually.

At an average labor cost of $30/hr, that’s $15,600 in value per year.

Even if adoption is uneven (say 25–30% realized efficiency), that’s still $4,000–$5,000 in year one.

AI enables SMBs to produce more with the same staff (emails, proposals, social posts, reports).

Example: If a retail store manager normally spends 4 hours/month on marketing content, AI reduces that to 1 hour. That’s 36 hours/year saved, worth ~$1,000–$1,500. Multiply across roles (sales, admin, service), and the gains add up.

Better customer communication (translation, personalization, faster response times) means fewer lost leads and more sales.

Example: If AI-enabled follow-up helps a business close just 2–3 more deals/year at $1,000 each, that’s $2,000–$3,000 added revenue.

A Responsible AI Use Policy reduces legal/compliance risk, which could save thousands in avoided mistakes (e.g., mishandled customer data, biased communications).

Even one prevented compliance issue could outweigh the cost.

Staff morale improves when repetitive work is automated.

SMBs gain competitive edge by being “early adopters” in their niche, differentiating them from peers.

This positions them for scaling AI further with future enablement packages.

Labor savings: $4,000–$5,000 (after partial adoption).

Productivity uplift: $1,000–$2,000.

Revenue lift: $2,000–$3,000.

Total ROI in Year One:  $7,000–$10,000 (2–3x payback).

That’s without factoring long-term efficiency gains, risk avoidance, or growth opportunities. With fuller adoption, the ROI can be 5x+.
