04 — The call

Build it

Build it. A custom system is the right move here — the payback justifies owning it rather than renting a compromise.

06 — The evidence · what others report

No hard numbers reported.

Reported numbers are third-party claims, source-attributed — not verified by me, and never blended into the model above.

07 — Questions owners ask

Every figure is Modeled — computed from industry-average benchmarks against the scenario’s formula. Move the sliders to your own inputs and the numbers recalculate live. Nothing here is a promise; it is a starting estimate you can pressure-test.
The library is organized by department, outcome, effort and readiness so you can find what fits. Add scenarios to your plan, tune the inputs, and see the combined picture on your plan dashboard.
Want this to be a Projected number? That's what the Audit produces — my forecast on your real data, with my name on it.
Build means a custom system is the right move; Buy means an off-the-shelf tool wins; Bin means the math does not justify doing it at all. Binned scenarios can be favorited for reference but never enter a plan.
