ROI that CFOs can trust

We don’t “estimate value” and move on.

We document assumptions, show our working, agree measurement, and track realised outcomes.

The scoring model (transparent)

Each opportunity is scored on:

Value

  • hours saved per month

  • cost saved (where rates are known)

  • cycle-time reduction

  • risk reduction (errors, compliance, operational fragility)

Effort

  • number of systems/integrations

  • workflow complexity (branches, approvals, exceptions)

  • data complexity (structured vs unstructured)

  • change impact (how many users and teams)

Confidence

  • quality of evidence (examples, screenshots, recordings)

  • clarity of current process and volumes

  • baseline availability (can we measure the “before”?

Priority is always a function of: value × confidence ÷ effort.

The measurement plan

For every delivered improvement, we agree upfront how we’ll prove impact. Common methods:

  • system timestamps (cycle time before/after)

  • sampling and time studies

  • volume × time saved calculations

  • error/rework rate tracking

  • adoption tracking (are people actually using it?)

Savings ledger

We track:

  • estimated savings (assumptions shown)

  • verified savings (measured)

  • realised savings over time

This creates a pipeline leaders can fund with confidence — and a programme that improves each quarter.
