Time saved is the estimate of human hours displaced by an agent's work. For each completed task, the deployment records how long the equivalent manual work would have taken, and those estimates accumulate across the ledger into a deployment-level total.
Time saved turns raw task counts into a figure a business can reason about. It is the input that drives the payback calculation — once enough hours are saved, their value covers the cost of running the agent. Because each estimate is attached to a ledger entry, time saved is auditable rather than a headline number, and it rolls up into anonymized benchmark snapshots by use case.
