What's writing up notes actually costing you?
The numbers below start from published benchmarks. The point of our first conversation is to replace them with yours.
The time you're pricing below is the time the pendant gives back — no typing during visits, no catch-up notes after shifts.
Visible on purpose. Adjust if you want a more or less conservative model.
Conservative
£70,500
Value of note-writing time released, at cost.
4,700.0 hrs/yr
Upside
£112,800
As freed care capacity, where there's demand to fill it.
4,700.0 hrs/yr
CQC prep recovered
At a £22/hr management cost.
Visits-equivalent
Roughly 181 extra half-hour visits a week
…from the same team, if you chose to use every hour that way.
And that's only the measurable half — cross-visit trends, sponsor-licence alerts, reablement evidence and the strength of your CQC evidence base are valued with you in the full assessment.
What this actually displaces
Three activities, not three jobs: the time carers spend writing up notes after a visit, the time a quality lead spends reading back through them, and the preparation that happens before an inspection or a contract review. Providers who have bought this kind of tool have generally funded it by substitution rather than from new budget — a line item that replaces a line item. We are not going to tell you which post that is; that is your decision and your organisation.

Common questions
Common questions
- Where do the default numbers come from?
- Published DHSC and sector benchmarks. They are a starting point only — in the ROI assessment they are replaced with your own measured baseline, taken from the surveys and interviews we run with your team.
- Is the saved time really cashable?
- Not automatically. It is released capacity: some of it becomes more visits, some becomes better care and less burnout. We are explicit about the difference, which is why the model shows a conservative figure at cost alongside the upside at charge-out.
- What does Veritrend cost?
- Pricing is agreed per engagement during early access. The ROI assessment comes first and sizes the value, so any pricing conversation happens against your own numbers rather than ours.
