Escal8 is not justified by promises. It is justified by numbers.

Every company implementing Escal8 can measure exactly how much they save — in avoided turnover, effective training, hours recovered by automation, and talent decisions previously made blindly.

Do you know how much it really costs you when someone leaves?

Most companies underestimate turnover cost because they only count recruitment. The reality is that each exit costs you 6 months of salary — and most are preventable.

Real cost per exit = 6 months salary = 3 months to replace + 3 months to train
Average monthly salary: $2,000 USD
Cost per exit: $12,000 USD
With 500 employees and 25% turnover = 125 exits per year
Annual turnover cost: $1,500,000 USD

The 3 months to replace

Replacement costs

Month 1: Search and selection

  • Job posting: $200-$500
  • Headhunter fee (if applicable): 15-25% of annual salary
  • Manager time in interviews: 20-40 hours
  • Tests, evaluations, checks: $250-$1,000
  • Average cost of this month: 1-2 months' salary

Month 2: Decision and closing

  • Offer and negotiation process
  • Administrative and legal paperwork
  • Initial onboarding and documentation
  • Setup of tools, access, equipment
  • Cost of vacant position: lost productivity while the seat is empty

Month 3: Onboarding

  • First week of induction (doesn't produce, only consumes)
  • Buddy/mentor assignment (consumes time of another productive employee)
  • Learning curve of internal systems and processes
  • Initial errors and rework
Subtotal: ~3 months' salary

The 3 months to train

Productivity costs

Month 4: Productivity at 25-40%

  • Still learning the business context
  • Needs constant supervision
  • Cannot make autonomous decisions
  • The team absorbs the load this person cannot yet carry

Month 5: Productivity at 50-70%

  • Starts contributing but with support
  • Makes fewer mistakes but still needs validation
  • Manager dedicates 5-10 hrs/week to coaching
  • Other team members still compensating

Month 6: Productivity at 75-90%

  • Functional but not at previous level
  • Knows processes but not shortcuts or internal relationships
  • Just starting to generate comparable value
  • Still doesn't master political/cultural context
Subtotal: ~3 months' salary

60-70% of turnover is preventable with data

People don't leave overnight. They leave after months of signals no one saw.

Lack of growth

"The #1 reason people leave in LATAM"

DetectionHigh potential people without visible growth path
ActionPersonalized career paths + succession pipeline making internal opportunity visible

Non-competitive compensation

"It's not always "paying more" — it's paying fairly for value generated"

DetectionKey high-risk people where main factor is compensation
ActionAlert to CHRO with projected cost of losing that person vs. adjustment cost

Bad climate / relationship with boss

""People don't quit companies, they quit bosses""

DetectionCultural disconnection hotspots by team, not organizational average
ActionEarly alerts when a team crosses risk thresholds + specific intervention plan

Overload and burnout

"The same people always absorb more because "they are reliable" — until they burn out"

DetectionBattery level per person and team, early burnout indicators
ActionLoad redistribution plan before the person collapses

"Each of these causes is detectable months in advance. The difference between retaining and losing talent is not luck — it's information."

The savings no one is measuring: hours paid to people to do machine work

Invoice capture

Before: 3 people × 4 hrs/day = 12 manual daily hours
After: Automated with n8n + AI → 12 min exceptions review
Savings: $295K/year in recovered hours
Bonus: 3 people reassigned to higher value financial analysis

Weekly KPI reports

Before: 1 analyst × 5 hrs every Monday consolidating data from 6 sources
After: Automatic pipeline generating report at 7am every Monday
Savings: 260 hrs/year per person → $6,500 in recovered time
Bonus: Analyst now does strategic analysis, not copy-paste

Employee onboarding

Before: 23 manual steps between HR, IT, Finance and manager → 2 weeks
After: Orchestrated workflow → 48 hours to be 100% operational
Savings: 10 days per new hire in time-to-productivity
Bonus: Zero missed steps, consistent experience for every new hire

"Escal8 doesn't just identify these opportunities — it implements them. Diagnosis, roadmap, and execution."

"Traditional consulting isn't bad — it's slow, expensive, and static. Escal8 gives the CEO what consulting gives, but in real-time, at a fraction of the cost, and for the whole company — not just the boardroom."

What those who already measure results say

"In the first quarter we identified 47 high potentials we hadn't mapped and retained 3 managers about to leave. Just with that, the year's ROI was paid in full."

VP of Human Resources
Manufacturing company, 1,200 employees
7.7x ROI in Year 1

"We automated 3 processes that consumed 40 hours weekly across the team. Now we invest that time in strategic analysis. And the risk dashboard saved us from losing our best plant manager."

CHRO
Logistics company, 500+ employees
40 hrs/week recovered

"For the first time, HR presented data I understood: turnover cost by area, training ROI, and quantified automation opportunities. I approved the budget in the same meeting."

Until today, no client has exercised the guarantee. Not because they can't — but because data always reveals something justifying the investment.

How much are you losing while you decide?

Every month that passes without measuring talent, turnover keeps costing, manual hours keep being paid, and decisions keep being made blindly.

With 500 employees and 25% turnover, you are losing ~$125,000 per month. Every month you wait.
