Decision tool
How many hours does drafting a project take at your institution?
Nothing is assumed. You choose who works, you build your own figure task by task, then you decide how much human time you keep. The tool only subtracts.
Everything is editable. The values already shown are our sourced default estimates — replace them with your figures.
