Each bar shows the 5-year NPV of the best robot option when one input moves to the low or high end of its range, with the rest held at your values.
Cost per unit to 2035
Real terms (today's money). Robot hardware follows Wright's law; wages follow each country's history. Shaded band: robots-slow to robots-fast scenarios. Whirrwork 模型估算,并非事实。

What the spreadsheet misses
- 安全
- Dull, dirty and dangerous tasks are where robots most often pay off beyond cost.
- 质量
- Robots repeat; people adapt.
- 灵活性
- The more the job changes week to week, the more a person is worth.
- Edge cases
- List the exceptions before you buy; they are usually the expensive part.
- Customer experience
- Ask customers, not vendors.
- Jobs and redeployment
- Plan redeployment and training first; it decides whether staff help or hinder.
- 法规
- Machinery, privacy and sector rules vary by country.
