What this chart forgets is that you can share your solution. You share your automation with a team of 20 or post it online and the payoff is much higher

I love this chart, have used it more than once 😄

But something it doesn't factor in is when you want to automate something to remove the human error on a repeated task. Having to correct a report you already sent to the customer is not fun
