Room for a narrow test
The roles fit inside the time entered with visible headroom. Start with one narrow task lane and check the real review load before adding scope.
Plan the monthly review Management capacity check
Can your manager absorb these offshore roles?
Estimate the weekly time needed for sample checks, corrections, questions, meetings, and exceptions during the first 30 days.
This is a planning aid, not a staffing, quality, productivity, or savings promise. The default numbers are house planning assumptions, not outside benchmarks.
Planning window30 days
Use the first month, when questions and corrections are usually easiest to miss.
Inputs5
Available time, role count, review, meetings, and a buffer.
Data savedNone
The estimate runs in your browser and is not stored.
First-month capacity
Use time that is already on the calendar.
If the roles have different review loads, use the hardest role or run the planner once for each role. An average can hide the role that needs the most help.
Your assumptions stay in this browser tab. This tool does not save them.
How the estimate works
Count manager work before you count seats.
The planner adds weekly review and meeting time for each new role, applies the buffer, then compares the total with the manager hours you entered. It rounds capacity use up and supported roles down.
- Enter the manager time that is already protected each week.
- Add the number of new roles that would start in the same 30-day window.
- Estimate weekly review, correction, meeting, and question time for each role.
- Add a buffer, check the result, and make the first role or task lane smaller when the plan is tight.
Default: 5 protected manager hours, 1 role, 90 review minutes, 60 meeting minutes, and a 30% buffer each week.
Four result bands
A plan can fit on paper and still be too tight.
The band gives you a next move. It does not prove that a role is safe or ready.
Tight
Most of the manager time entered is already committed. Start roles one at a time or make the first task lane smaller.
Check role riskAt the limit
The plan fits on paper, but a normal exception or correction could push it over. Reduce scope or protect more review time first.
Map review loadOver capacity
Do not start all requested roles together under these assumptions. Reduce the role count, narrow the work, or add real manager time.
Choose a safer first roleKeep owner controls
Spare time does not make risky work safe.
Money movement, legal or clinical judgment, customer promises, sensitive-data decisions, record deletion, and access changes still need named approval rules. The estimate also leaves out recruiting, one-time access setup, SOP writing, and emergency work.
Plan looks tight?
Start with one role and one reviewable task lane.
Use the role risk selector before you price the work. Then use the monthly scorecard after the first work samples arrive.
