Onboarding v2 with checklist
Sample numbers prefilled. Change any input to see NPV, FVI, and payback update live.
Display only, no conversion.
How much value does this feature create per year? (revenue, saved cost, or both)
Rough one-time investment: engineering time + design + rollout.
What it costs to run and maintain this every year, after it ships.
How many years of lift do you count? We default to 3.
Haircut applied to expected lift when computing FVI.
Net benefit, before discounting
$257,000
$285,000 total benefit minus $28,000 build cost
NPV at 10%
$208,251
Future money is worth less than money today, so this is the number to compare options on.
FVI (confidence-weighted)
7.13
Higher is better. Yearly lift minus running cost, times years, times confidence, divided by build cost, with no units. Above 1 is our rule of thumb, not a standard. The framework guides use dollars per engineering week.
Payback
4 months
How long until annual lift covers the build cost.
