Put in a task you repeat every week. See the hours and money it costs you, what automating it would save per month and per year, and how quickly a $350 automation pays for itself. Share the result with a link.

How the numbers are worked out
Monthly volume is your weekly count times 52 weeks divided by 12 months (about 4.33 weeks per month). Time now is volume times minutes per task, plus the time spent fixing errors (volume times error rate times minutes per fix). Savings are the automated share of that time, valued at the hourly cost you entered. Payback is $350 divided by the monthly saving.
It leaves out things that are real but hard to price: faster replies to customers, fewer leads forgotten over a weekend, and not having one person be the only one who knows the process. It also leaves out running costs. Tools like Zapier and Make bill per task or operation and n8n can be self-hosted, so check their current pricing for your volume. For an example build, see the lead follow-up automation demo.

Most single-workflow automations in n8n, Make or Zapier start at $120 and take 3 to 7 days. You get a fixed quote before anything starts.
