This assumes 240 working days per year. With your current team's throughput of 2 reports per day, the annual output is approximately 480 reports.

To match $80.00/report, you need about 1,650 reports/year to justify an in-house team.

The break-even point is calculated as the number of reports your team would need to process for the cost of producing one report in-house to equal the cost of processing one report automatically.
