Is it worth the time?

A breakeven grid for recurring task automation: estimate net time or money saved over a multi-year horizon, with errors, frustration, upkeep, and skill practice folded in—not just seconds shaved per run.

Based on Randall Munroe's xkcd 1205, extended with error rate, frustration, maintenance cost, and skill investment.
