Verification Process Turnaround Time Estimator
Estimates the total turnaround time (in business days) for a verification process, accounting for document review, background checks, third-party validations, and internal approval stages.
Number of Documents to Review
Document Complexity
Simple (IDs, basic forms) Moderate (contracts, certificates) Complex (financial records, legal docs)
Background Check Required?
No Yes – Standard (3 days) Yes – Enhanced (7 days) Yes – International (14 days)
Number of Third-Party Validations
Avg. Days per Third-Party Response
Number of Internal Approval Stages
Avg. Days per Approval Stage
Expected Resubmission Rate (%)
Avg. Days Lost per Resubmission

#### Formula
Total Turnaround Time (business days) = Parallel Phase + Third-Party Total + Approval Total + Resubmission Delay
Where:
- Document Review Days = (Documents × 1.5 hrs × Complexity Factor) ÷ 8 hrs/day
- Parallel Phase = max(Document Review Days, Background Check Days) — these run concurrently
- Third-Party Total = Number of Third-Party Validations × Avg. Days per Response
- Approval Total = Number of Approval Stages × Avg. Days per Stage
- Resubmission Delay = (Resubmission Rate ÷ 100) × Avg. Days per Resubmission
- Calendar Days = ⌈Business Days × (7 ÷ 5)⌉
Complexity Factors: Simple = 1.0 × | Moderate = 1.5 × | Complex = 2.5 ×
#### Assumptions & References
- A baseline of 1.5 hours per document is assumed for simple document review, scaled by complexity.
- An 8-hour workday is used to convert hours to business days.
- Document review and background checks are assumed to run in parallel; the longer phase determines the combined duration.
- Third-party validations and internal approvals are treated as sequential phases for conservative planning.
- The resubmission delay is an expected value: probability × average delay days.
- Calendar day conversion assumes a standard 5-day work week (no public holidays).
