Where these numbers come from
These calculations are based on real customer data. Wharton, a UK ecology consultancy, documented 327 hours saved per year on 2TB of recordings after switching to BioSonic. That works out to 495 hours for a traditional Kaleidoscope-class workflow versus 168 hours with BioSonic.
The 66% time saving on sound analysis is consistent across multiple customers and matches the Wharton case study. Some bat consultants report up to 86% savings on the sound analysis. The saving comes from eliminating manual file splitting, automated noise filtering, and faster spectrogram review.
In addition to analysis time, you can expect an estimated 28% saving on report writing — most of the graphs and maps you need (activity over time, species distribution, emergence times, heatmaps) are automatically generated in BioSonic and ready to drop into your reports.
Estimates assume baseline traditional workflow against full BioSonic adoption. Results vary by site complexity and reviewer experience. Weeks calculated at 35 hours per week.
