Frequently asked

How accurate is the instant calculator above? +
It's a directional estimate using industry-benchmark formulas. The risk discount slider lets you tune for your context. The personalized report adds rigor — industry benchmarks, sensitivity analysis, vendor recommendations, implementation roadmap.
What discount rate does the NPV use? +
10% annually, applied to net cash flows in years 1-3. Conservative for most mid-market companies. The personalized report adjusts for your industry and capital structure.
Why do you flag negative first-year ROI? +
AI costs are front-loaded (licenses, training, change mgmt); benefits are back-loaded (adoption ramp). Per BCG 2026, orgs evaluating on a 12-month horizon often wrongly reject AI. We surface this so you don't under-invest.
Can I account for revenue gains, not just cost savings? +
In the calculator above, only cost-savings (more defensible to CFOs). In the personalized report, yes — we model revenue upside with explicit assumptions you can defend.
What if our team is small (5 people)? +
The math still works. Absolute dollar values are smaller but % ROI can be just as compelling — and the ramp is faster.
