What is the ROI if I spend $50,000 on automation, currently spend 40 hours a week at $50/hour, and have a 90% defect detection rate?

The total monetary return is $104,000 with a payback period of 6 months, resulting in significant cost savings.

Calculate the maintenance cost for a $20,000 automation suite with a 30% flakiness score and 80% coverage.

The predicted annual maintenance cost is $4,500 with a stability rating of Moderate.

How much coverage improvement can I expect if I move from 20% manual coverage to 70% automation coverage with an efficiency factor of 5?

The net increase in total test coverage is 50%.

You can use the `calculate_roi_metrics` tool. Provide the manual hours, automation cost, hourly rate, and defect detection rate to receive the estimated payback period in months.
