> 5% of every knowledge workers salary to go into tokens

In general, I don't think you can reason from the existence of potentially stranded investments back to revenue projections.

And when you frame this as percentage of salaries, that's a sneaky implication that this is only about reducing salaries and headcount, and not about adding capability, or doing things you couldn't do before, or making fewer mistakes, or capturing more revenue, or expanding margins, or competing more effectively.

That said, 5% of knowledge worker comp actually seems very low to me, given the capabilities, and considering the percentage of "knowledge work" that is absolute bullshit.

Two weeks ago I received an email from my HOA saying I'd been billed for a service I never asked for. So I replied to the email saying they'd made a mistake. There are now more than 30 messages in the thread, involving at least 8 "knowledge workers" at the property management company all passing the buck, and the problem is no closer to resolution.

An agent could wipe out all 8 of those bullshit jobs and solve my simple problem in five minutes instead of two weeks. Think of how many hundreds of thousands people are doing this nonsense just in the property management industry alone.

5% is nothing.
