Do Not Minimize AI Usage. Maximize AI Value.
Copilot Credits are not the problem. Unmanaged usage is the problem. Sulava helps you use more AI where it creates measurable business value — and less where it creates waste.
From AI assistance to AI execution.
Copilot is no longer only drafting, summarizing and answering. Cowork, Work IQ and agents can now execute multi-step work across apps, files, meetings, data, dashboards, tools and systems. That creates value — if it is governed.
Target ROI zones
Start with Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed enterprise users. Choose the groups, scenarios and workloads where AI execution should create measurable value.
Forecast credits & USD
Model expected usage by persona, task type and workload before adoption scales. Show credits and estimated USD everywhere.
Govern safely
Design budgets, limits, alerts, user caps, service access and billing policies so the right usage can grow without surprise spend.
Train users
Teach when to use Copilot Chat, in-app Copilot, Cowork, agents and — when appropriate — Scout. Keep simple work simple.
Optimize usage
Scale high-value scenarios and reduce untrained, accidental, duplicated or poorly scoped usage that does not create return.
Prove ROI
Connect usage to productivity, revenue acceleration, decision speed, cost avoidance, risk reduction and net P&L impact.
Credits become clear when every task has a business purpose.
Cowork requires Microsoft 365 Copilot. PayGo or prepaid credits fund the execution work — they do not replace the license requirement. Planning estimates vary by model, runtime, context and tools.
| Copilot Cowork task | Planning credits | Estimated PayGo USD | Customer meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light | 70–200 credits | ~$0.70–$2.00 | Small, bounded, recurring and reviewable work. |
| Medium | 400–600 credits | ~$4.00–$6.00 | Multi-source business work such as customer meeting prep. |
| Heavy | >1,500 credits | >$15.00 | Deep analysis, long-running work, large datasets or leadership-ready outputs. |
PayGo is best when usage is unknown. Prepaid Copilot Credits can make sense when annual usage becomes predictable. The Command Center helps decide when to stay flexible and when to commit.
Use more where there is ROI. Use less where there is waste.
The goal is not lower AI usage. The goal is higher-value AI usage. Sulava helps customers separate the work worth scaling from the work that needs training, redirection or controls.
Scale this
Reduce this
Time savings are fundamental.
But they are only the first layer.
ROI calculations go wrong when you only count hours saved. AI execution creates value when it changes how work moves through the organization: fewer delays, better quality, less rework, faster customer response, reduced external spend, and better decisions.
1. Capacity returned
Free skilled people from busy work, repetitive preparation, status reporting, meeting follow-up, and manual coordination.
2. Quality & consistency
Create stronger briefs, cleaner handoffs, better first drafts, fewer errors, and more consistent outputs across teams.
3. Outsourcing compression
Reduce the need for external help on repeatable research, reporting, analysis, documentation, and presentation work.
4. Faster time to value
Move from insight to action faster: reports become follow-ups, dashboards become review meetings, and risks become owners.
5. Revenue & customer impact
Improve account preparation, pipeline hygiene, customer follow-up, opportunity reviews, and executive-ready sales moments.
6. Risk, control & confidence
Keep usage visible, governed, permission-aware, budgeted, and tied to business ownership instead of random experimentation.
Time turns credits into ROI.
A single Cowork task has a credit estimate. Enterprise value comes from understanding how that usage scales over time. The Sulava Copilot & Agent ROI Command Center shows credit velocity, budget runway, recurring usage, and ROI over time — so customers can see not only what a task costs, but what value it creates across a week, month, quarter, and year.
Credit velocity
Track credits per day, week, and month. See how individual habits become enterprise-scale spending patterns before they surprise you.
Budget runway
See when current usage will hit the monthly budget — before it happens, not after. Know your burn rate and act early.
Recurring usage
Convert weekly and monthly Cowork patterns into annual credit and USD forecasts for structured planning and procurement.
Time-based ROI
Compare credits consumed against hours saved, revenue impact, decision speed, and cost avoidance. Prove value, not just activity.
Time is the multiplier.
One medium Cowork task may be around 550 credits / ~$5.50. But enterprise planning starts when that task becomes a habit across teams.
100 users × 4 medium tasks/month = ~220,000 credits / ~$2,200/month.
If each task saves one hour or improves a customer decision, the question is no longer “what did it cost?” The question is:
What value did we create over time?

Credit velocity
| Usage pattern | Credits | Estimated USD |
|---|---|---|
| 1 medium Cowork task | 550 credits | ~$5.50 |
| 100 users × 4 medium tasks/month | 220,000 credits/month | ~$2,200/month |
| 500 users × 4 medium tasks/month | 1,100,000 credits/month | ~$11,000/month |
| 500 users × 4 medium tasks/month × 12 months | 13,200,000 credits/year | ~$132,000/year |
Budget runway
| Monthly budget | Current daily burn | Forecast month-end | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000,000 credits / ~$10,000 | 25,000 credits/day / ~$250/day | 750,000 credits / ~$7,500 | On track |
| 1,000,000 credits / ~$10,000 | 45,000 credits/day / ~$450/day | 1,350,000 credits / ~$13,500 | Over budget |
Recurring usage — annual view per user
| Recurring Cowork scenario | Credits/year/user | Estimated USD/year/user |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly light status update (70–200 credits) | 3,640–10,400 credits | ~$36–$104 |
| Weekly medium customer prep (400–600 credits) | 20,800–31,200 credits | ~$208–$312 |
| Monthly heavy analysis (>1,500 credits) | >18,000 credits | >$180 |
Time-based ROI
| Scenario | Monthly usage | Estimated cost | Time saved | Business value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 users × 3 medium tasks/week | 1,320,000 credits/month | ~$13,200/month | 1,800 hours/month if each task saves 45 min | ~$135,000/month at $75/hr loaded cost |
Not: “This costs $13,200.” But: This returns 1,800 hours and creates ~$135,000 of capacity for ~$13,200.
Scope the work to protect the budget
| Prompt style | Likely effect |
|---|---|
| “Analyze everything about this customer.” | Broad context, more runtime, higher credit risk |
| “Use the last 30 days of emails, meetings, CRM notes, and files. Create one meeting brief.” | Bounded time, bounded sources, clearer ROI |
Bound the time window. Bound the sources. Bound the outputs. Then scale the work where ROI is real.
