RESOURCE OVERVIEW

Built for practical application.

INTENDED OUTCOME

Quantify an AI initiative, pressure-test assumptions, approve funding, and track realized value.

Build a disciplined business case for AI automation. This ten-sheet calculator separates baseline activity, benefit drivers, implementation and recurring costs, 36-month cash flow, scenario sensitivity, benefit realization, governance, and approval criteria. Outputs include NPV, payback, ROI, and risk-adjusted scenarios with traceable assumptions, sample data, a seven-page implementation guide, and the Officiora Originals license.

Putting this resource to work

Suggested workflow based on the resource’s published scope. Adapt it to your organization and review the included instructions before use.

Before you begin

Gather baseline activity volumes, labor assumptions, preliminary solution estimates, and implementation and recurring costs. Assign a finance reviewer and separate measured facts from estimates that still need validation.

Suggested workflow

Connect benefit drivers and ownership costs to the 36-month cash-flow view. Compare scenario results, payback, ROI, and NPV, then examine which assumptions drive the decision. Revisit the benefit-realization record as evidence replaces the original estimates.

Review before relying on the result

Modeled savings are not guaranteed cash savings. Avoid counting the same benefit twice, and distinguish capacity released from costs that can actually be removed. Review the assumptions before using the result in a funding decision.
