How much is manual site research costing you?

Screen more sites. Kill bad deals earlier. Enter your own volume, hours, and hourly rate below to see what repeated manual research is really costing your team.

Enter your own volume, hours, and hourly rate — see the "with Bucky" note below for how that side of the math is assumed
$1,926/month back in your team's time

≈ 27 hrs/month freed up for pursuit work, after the $99/month plan cost.

Pays for itself after just 1.3 hrs of research time saved this month — true regardless of the numbers above.

6 hrs

Assumes Bucky cuts that to about 0.6 hrs per site — based on the time savings we typically see, not a per-visitor input.

This is an estimate, not a guarantee. Actual time and cost saved vary by market, project complexity, and how your team works today.

Why we built this

Pre-development decisions depend on facts scattered across parcel records, zoning maps, ordinance text, overlays, market sources, and spreadsheets. Assembling that picture by hand is repeatable, unbillable work — and it is the same work on every site, for every professional who does it.

This calculator does not tell you what Bucky saves. It is a way to see what your own numbers say, so the case for (or against) a subscription rests on your volume and your team's time, not on an abstract feature tour.

Questions

Is this a guaranteed savings number?

No. It is an estimate built entirely from the numbers you enter — your volume, your hours, your hourly rate. Nothing is pre-filled from a marketing claim. Adjust any slider and the result updates immediately.

Where do the "hours with Bucky" numbers come from?

From you. We deliberately do not default this to a specific hours-saved claim — estimate what a site would realistically take your team once the research is centralized, then adjust it as you see real usage.

What if I screen more or fewer sites than the sliders show?

The sliders cover a wide range, but the math scales linearly — hours saved per site times sites per month. If your volume sits outside the range, multiply the per-site savings by your own number.
