    NAMED CLIENT CASE STUDY

    Capital Alliance Returns 15 Forty-Hour Workweeks of Annualized Staff Capacity

    Capital Alliance Properties serves residential, commercial, and brokerage operations in Macon, Georgia. Maintenance coordination and brokerage follow-up needed a governed automation layer.

    Key Metrics

    Maintenance coordination

    Maintenance handling time fell from 40 to 10 minutes per request

    Measured

    The measured monthly set contains 50 maintenance requests. Each request returns 30 minutes, or 25 staff hours per month. Formula: (40 - 10) / 40 = 75%.

    Method
    Capital Alliance measured request counts and handling time from its records. The owner confirmed those records on 2026-09-04.

    Brokerage inquiry follow-up

    Brokerage handling time fell from 20 to 5 minutes per inquiry

    Measured

    The measured monthly set contains 100 brokerage inquiries. Each inquiry returns 15 minutes, or 25 staff hours per month. Formula: (20 - 5) / 20 = 75%.

    Combined staff capacity returned

    600 staff hours returned annually

    Measured

    Capital Alliance reports 25 staff hours per month from each workflow. Formula: (25 + 25) × 12 = 600 hours. This annualized capacity equals 15 forty-hour workweeks.

    Method
    Capital Alliance measured the two monthly results from its records. The owner confirmed those records on 2026-09-04.

    Value of returned staff capacity

    $18,372 annual value of returned staff capacity

    Modeled

    This is not a cash saving. Labor and contractor expense did not fall, and Capital Alliance redirected the capacity. Formula: 300 hours × $33.65 = $10,095 for maintenance. Formula: 300 hours × $27.59 = $8,277 for brokerage. Total: $10,095 + $8,277 = $18,372.

    Method
    CloudNSite uses BLS OEWS May 2025 national median wages, not Capital Alliance payroll rates. The model uses $33.65 for property managers. It uses $27.59 for real estate brokers and sales agents, SOC 41-9020. A reader can reproduce the model from these public values.

    Annualized capacity model from the measured monthly run rate.

    Client-attributed realized revenue

    $5,000 realized revenue

    Attributed

    Capital Alliance attributes one additional closing to the automated brokerage follow-up workflow. The value is one client-attributed revenue event. No causal counterfactual is claimed.

    Method
    Capital Alliance attributes the closing to the changed follow-up process. The owner confirmed the attribution on 2026-09-04.

    Combined first-year return on investment

    37% combined first-year ROI

    Derived

    Formula: ($18,372 + $5,000 - $16,999) / $16,999 = 37.5%, stated as 37% rounded down. This result inherits the weakest class of its inputs.

    Method
    CloudNSite calculates ROI from modeled capacity value, client-attributed revenue, and the $16,999 project cost. The denominator is the one-time build cost of $16,999. It excludes any ongoing operations fee, which is priced and contracted separately.
    Period
    First year after implementation.

    Capacity-only first-year return on investment

    8.1% capacity-only first-year ROI

    Derived

    Formula: ($18,372 - $16,999) / $16,999 = 8.1%. This result uses modeled capacity value and project cost. It excludes the attributed closing.

    Method
    CloudNSite calculates this result from the modeled annual capacity value and the $16,999 project cost. The denominator is the one-time build cost. It excludes any ongoing operations fee, which is priced and contracted separately.

    Capacity-only break-even

    11.1 months to modeled value-equivalent break-even

    Derived

    Formula: $18,372 / 12 = $1,531 modeled value per month. Formula: $16,999 / $1,531 = 11.1 months. This metric compares modeled capacity value with project cost.

    Method
    CloudNSite divides the project cost by the monthly modeled capacity value. The calculation excludes the attributed closing. The denominator is the one-time build cost. It excludes any ongoing operations fee, which is priced and contracted separately.
    Period
    Modeled from the annualized monthly capacity.

    What CloudNSite Changed

    The maintenance workflow captures each request, identifies missing details, applies approved routing rules, and prepares tenant and staff messages.

    The brokerage workflow captures each inquiry, records property interest, sends approved initial messages, and creates follow-up tasks.

    Both workflows preserve status, ownership, messages, approvals, and exceptions in an auditable operating record.

    Capital Alliance reviews every safety, spending, negotiation, pricing, representation, and contract decision.

    Measured Business Result

    Capital Alliance records show that each workflow returns 25 staff hours per month.
    The combined monthly result annualizes to 600 hours, equal to 15 forty-hour workweeks.
    The client redirects that capacity to tenant service, property operations, relationship development, and brokerage work.
    Capital Alliance attributes $5,000 in realized revenue from one additional closing to the follow-up workflow.

    What Remained Under Client Control

    • Emergency and safety judgments
    • Vendor spending and financial commitments
    • Negotiations, representations, and pricing
    • Brokerage and contractual decisions
    • Exceptions outside approved workflow rules

    Measurement Note

    Capital Alliance records support both per-unit changes and the 50-hour monthly total. The owner confirmed these measured inputs on 2026-09-04. The 600-hour figure is an annualized monthly run rate equal to 15 forty-hour workweeks. The capacity model uses two cited BLS national median wages. It does not use Capital Alliance payroll rates. A reader can reproduce the full capacity model from the cited public BLS data. Labor and contractor expense did not fall.

    Capital Alliance now runs both workflows through a consistent, governed process. Repeatable work moves through automation, while consequential decisions remain with Capital Alliance.
