This estimate measures staff capacity, not elapsed calendar time. It assumes the selected cycle is typical and applies the same pattern across the year. Actual improvement depends on data quality, responsibilities, approvals, systems and change adoption.
The figures entered and results calculated here stay in your browser. Kithms measures basic tool usage, but does not receive the report name, staff figures, hours or cost entered.
