AI ROI Calculator — Alpha / Work in Progress
The AI ROI calculator that doesn’t lie. Built by an M&A executive, not a vendor. Currently in alpha at ai-roi-modeler.vercel.app — the methodology is solid, the UI is being refined.
The 5-Step Wizard
- Company Context — Industry (10 options), company size, team location
- Risk & Readiness — Change readiness (1–5), data quality, executive sponsor
- Project Archetype — Internal Process, Customer-Facing, Data & Analytics, Revenue & Growth, Risk & Compliance
- Current Costs — Team size, salary, error rate, tool costs
- AI Investment — Budget, timeline, ongoing cost (all auto-suggested)
Output
- 5-Year DCF Analysis — Risk-adjusted NPV, IRR, ROIC, payback
- Monte Carlo Simulation — 500 iterations, P10–P90, probability of positive NPV
- Sensitivity Tornado — 6-variable analysis, full DCF re-run for each
- Hidden Cost Model — Change management, cultural resistance, data cleanup
- 24-Page PDF Report — Board-ready, Monte Carlo page, synthetic case study
- Live Excel Model — 6-tab workbook, real Excel formulas, color-coded
Why It’s Different
Every savings figure is multiplied by a blended risk factor. The tool never presents an unadjusted “best case” as the primary output. 234 automated tests. 26 research sources: McKinsey, Gartner, Deloitte, IBM, SHRM, Forrester, BCG, BLS.
