AI DATA FOR YOUVALUE TOOL / 01 DECISION SUPPORT
Business Benefit Calculator.
Convert a measurable data issue or improvement opportunity into an indicative business case. The calculator makes volume, frequency, unit value, recoverability and delivery cost visible instead of hiding them inside a headline savings claim.
Use the recurring model for annual leakage or avoidable effort, and the project model for one-off value protection such as migration rework. Results are shown in AUD and can be tested immediately with the worked examples below.
LIVE WORKSPACE
Build the value case.
Change any assumption and the results update immediately. Start with conservative, evidence-backed inputs; the output is only as strong as the baseline behind it.
YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
EXAMPLE LOADEDRecurring value model
CORE CALCULATIONBusiness volume × issue rate × unit value × addressable share
Gross exposure is calculated before recoverability. Delivery costs are then deducted from the realistic benefit so the result is a net value case, not a gross claim.
HOW TO USE IT
From issue to decision in four steps.
Begin with one clearly bounded problem and one trusted source for the baseline. Use observable volume, frequency and unit value rather than broad transformation estimates.
Keep the addressable share conservative, include the full delivery and sustainment cost, then compare the result with continued inaction. Record an owner and source for every assumption before treating the output as a business case.
Verify the baseline
Enter the affected volume and issue rate supported by operational or financial evidence.

See the model with real numbers.
Each scenario uses a different value basis: revenue already expressed in AUD, labour hours converted through a loaded hourly rate, or project budget exposed to rework.
Load an example to inspect every assumption and recalculate the result. The figures are illustrative AUD scenarios, not promised savings; replace them with the organisation’s evidence.
Revenue leakage
A growing firm has AUD 12 million of annual billable activity. Incomplete matter and rate data leaves an estimated 1% unbilled or underbilled, and the team believes 60% can realistically be recovered.
Illustrative result. The model indicates AUD 120,000 of annual exposure, AUD 72,000 of first-year benefit and about AUD 157,545 of three-year net value after the stated delivery costs.
Manual reconciliation
A finance team spends 1,104 hours each year reconciling records at a loaded cost of AUD 70 per hour. Better matching and ownership are expected to remove 40% of that effort without assuming every exception disappears.
Illustrative result. The model indicates AUD 77,280 of annual exposure, AUD 30,912 of first-year benefit and about AUD 67,450 of three-year net value after implementation and support costs.
Migration rework protection
An AUD 4 million migration has 12% of budget exposed to avoidable profiling, mapping and reconciliation rework. Readiness activity is expected to protect 80% of that exposed value.
Illustrative result. The model indicates AUD 480,000 of project exposure, AUD 384,000 of value protected and AUD 244,000 of net benefit after AUD 140,000 of delivery and assurance cost.
MODEL CLARIFICATION
Follow the assumptions back to the method.
A calculator can structure a decision, but it cannot verify the evidence by itself. The four linked explanations show how each number should be measured, monetised, compared and proven before work begins.
Use these lower-level clarifications to challenge optimistic assumptions and document ownership. They connect the calculator directly to the business-value framework and the current industry use cases on the main website.
