ROI Business Case Builder
roi_business_case_builderHelps you build an ROI case the buyer's finance team can check. You give your solution, its main value driver and the buyer's own figures: an annual value estimate, or current annual cost with the expected improvement percent. With them you get the ROI, payback, three year value and sensitivity. Without them it shows no ROI: it names the inputs to add and gives the structure of the case (the cost lines to price, your quoted results as reference points, the questions to ask). Ask finance for the cash-only annual benefit when an investment decision depends on cash.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| industry | No | The customer's industry, in any words. Used for wording and sector notes only: no industry figure is applied to the calculation. A return needs the buyer's own figures (annual value estimate, or current annual cost with expected improvement percent) | |
| your_sector | No | Optional: your company's own industry (not your customers'). When given, it decides the sector notes; when left out, the tool reads it from your words and stays neutral if they are unclear. | |
| company_size | No | Company size tier | |
| customer_name | No | Customer/prospect name | |
| known_metrics | No | Metrics the prospect shared, or results you can quote. Listed as reference points, never as the buyer's figures; to turn the buyer's figures into the value, give current annual cost and expected improvement percent, or annual value estimate | |
| your_solution | Yes | Your product/solution | |
| annual_revenue | No | Customer annual revenue. Shown as your input; it is not turned into a value | |
| employee_count | No | Number of employees. Shown as your input; it is not turned into a value | |
| solution_price | No | Annual cost of your solution | |
| current_process | No | How they do it today. Separate the ways of working with a semicolon: each becomes a cost line to price. Not used in the calculation | |
| annual_cash_benefit | No | Optional buyer-confirmed annual cash benefit in US dollars, excluding staff time without a cash release. Ask finance to separate cash from non-cash value. Compared with the annual solution price; a cash deficit holds the investment decision. | |
| current_annual_cost | No | Optional: what the problem or the current process costs the buyer a year, in dollars (their figure) | |
| primary_value_driver | Yes | Primary value category | |
| annual_value_estimate | No | Optional: the buyer's own estimate of the annual value in dollars; used as the value when given | |
| implementation_timeline | No | Expected implementation time. Shown in the output; not used in the calculation | |
| expected_improvement_percent | No | Optional: the share of that annual cost the buyer expects to save, in percent (their figure) |
