How we arrived at these numbers
- *
9 hrs/week - McKinsey Global Institute (2012) - The social economy: Unlocking value and productivity through social technologies. Knowledge workers spend 1.8 hours per day - 9.3 hours per week - searching and gathering information. Widely cited; represents the upper bound.
- *
5 hrs/week - Panopto (2018) - Workplace Knowledge and Productivity Report. Employees spend 5 hours per week searching for information or waiting for colleagues to find it. The most directly relevant study for Talvi's use case.
- *
IDC Research (multiple years) - Information workers spend approximately 2.5 hours per day (30% of their workday) searching for information. Consistent with McKinsey at the upper range.
- **
£18.27 per hour wage rate - Based on your selected salary of £38k / 2,080 working hours. Default is the GBP median (£38k) - adjust the salary slider or switch currency above.

Year-by-year projection
Assumptions and caveats
Based on Talvi Cloud deployment model. Setup fee is indicative and may vary by client depending on content library size, deployment complexity, and integration requirements. Figures do not include additional benefits such as reduced support queries, faster onboarding, improved compliance, or L&D team efficiency gains.
Soft vs hard savings. The figures above represent productivity recaptured - time no longer spent searching. Even if only 25% of that time converts to measurable output (faster projects, fewer escalations, reduced rework), the net return still exceeds the investment in year one at the default settings.
Go-live timeline. Typical Talvi deployment is 4 weeks from contract to live. Payback calculations assume savings accrue from month 1 - in practice, full benefit is realised from the end of week 4.
