Template Break-even
Calculate the minimum run count that repays a one-time template setup.
Prepare your sheet
Use one row per workflow observation. Enter Manual min, Templated min, EUR/h, Tool EUR/run, Setup EUR. Check that every row belongs to the same review scope.
Decision rule
Value is reclaimed operator time at the entered rate. A zero or negative saving per run never repays setup.
