Prove your programme delivered, not just that it launched
Build the business case before you invest, then come back after go-live and measure what actually landed — the same model, projected against realised.
The problem
Every programme you propose gets challenged, and rightly so. The steering committee has seen optimistic business cases before. When your benefits number arrives as a single point estimate with no visible workings, the challenge isn't a debate about assumptions — it's a debate about whether to believe you.
Then there's the harder problem: what happens after go-live. The case gets approved, the programme ships, and the benefits are never measured. Deloitte's global automation survey found that more than half of implementers had not calculated the cost reductions they actually achieved (Deloitte). The projected number lives forever in a slide; the delivered number lives nowhere.
That gap follows you into the next funding round. If nobody can say what the last programme returned, every new case starts from zero credibility.
What you can quantify
Three calculators covering the initiatives at the heart of most transformation portfolios.
- Process Automation ROI — what does automating a manual process return in hours and money, and when does the investment pay back?
- AI Chatbot ROI — what's a defensible return on an AI assistant when containment rates are set from evidence rather than a vendor demo?
- Digital Self-Service ROI — what does shifting demand from assisted channels to self-service earn, net of the cost to build and maintain it?
Every calculator runs in two modes. Projection builds the case before you invest. Impact takes your real post-go-live numbers and measures what was delivered — linked to the original projection, so variance is visible rather than forgotten.
Why finance signs off
- Three scenarios on every case. Conservative, moderate and optimistic — you present a range you can defend, not a single number you'll be held to.
- A complete audit trail. Every input, assumption and calculation itemised. When the committee challenges a figure, you show the working instead of defending a black box.
- Multi-year NPV and IRR. Programme benefits modelled over time and discounted properly — in the vocabulary your investment board already uses.
- Sensitivity analysis. A tornado chart ranks which assumptions drive the outcome, so due diligence focuses where it matters.
How it works
- Build the projection. Answer questions about the process, volumes and costs; get a scenario-based business case with payback and NPV in minutes.
- Take it to the board. Share a read-only link or export to CSV — every figure carries its own working.
- Measure the impact. After go-live, re-run the same model with actuals. Projected against realised, side by side, across your whole portfolio.
