What would this deployment actually return?
Pick the workflow closest to yours, replace the defaults with your own numbers, and the model recalculates as you type. It reports payback on hard cash only and keeps released capacity separate, because that is the first thing a finance director will ask you to do.
Defaults start on Conservative and are deliberately cautious. They are starting points drawn from comparable South African deployments, not a forecast for your business. Real numbers come from your own systems during Operational Discovery, and the automation rate is measured on your real records during the 5-day Impact Sprint.
Conservative claims 65% of the modelled benefit and assumes a 6-month adoption ramp. We quote on Conservative and aim to beat it.
Advanced assumptions
What the benefit is actually made of
Annual run rate once the system is fully adopted, after the confidence haircut.
Benefit by stream
Per year at steady state. Capacity released is shown but excluded from payback.
Cumulative position
Money out first, then the curve turns. Nothing accrues before go-live.
Which assumption decides the answer
Each driver moved ±20%, ranked by how much it swings the result. Test these first.
How this was calculated
Every figure behind the numbers above, and the formulas that produced them.

This calculator produces an estimate for discussion, not a forecast, a quotation or financial advice. Fee bands reflect typical NewGenIT engagement sizes and are confirmed only after scoping. Read how the model works or book a discovery call to replace these assumptions with measurements.
