Model the decision.
Then challenge it.
Three free tools for evaluating automation and software without hiding assumptions. Calculations remain in your browser and are not submitted to Causivra.
Automation ROI
Calculate modeled cash impact separately from staff capacity released. Capacity value is not included in ROI.
Take the framework into your next software evaluation.

Use observed inputs
Start with a measured baseline. If a number is uncertain, use a conservative estimate and test a second scenario.
Separate cost and capacity
Time released is not automatically cash saved. Count it as financial value only when the business can use or remove that capacity.
Keep the decision auditable
Save the assumptions with the result and revisit them after a pilot. A model supports judgment; it does not replace evidence.
