Time Saved Metrics

How We Calculate Time Saved

Time Hive uses a deterministic formula to calculate time saved, ensuring your metrics are never inflated.

The Formula

For every single successful run event received, we calculate the savings for that specific event as:

Time Saved = Manual Time (min) - Automated Time (min)

If you pass the count parameter in your payload (e.g., batching 50 records), the formula becomes:

Time Saved = (Manual Time - Automated Time) * count

Dynamic Recalculation

Because we calculate this dynamically using SQL views (time_saved_rollup), modifying a Task's assumptions immediately updates all historical data. If you discover a process actually takes 20 minutes instead of 10, simply update the Task, and your all-time dashboard totals will instantly reflect the new, more accurate assumption.
