About the Executive ROI Dashboard
The whole business case on one screen: what earlier project discovery and freed research time do to revenue, profit, hours, bids, wins, ROI and payback.
This dashboard runs the two dominant effects together — commercial and operational — then nets the subscription and expresses the result.
This dashboard combines commercial and operational effects into one total impact figure with ROI and payback.
Formula
Total Impact = Profit Impact + Time Savings - D
- — Deals closed per year
- WR
- — Current win rate
- WU
- — Win rate uplift
- ME
- — Months earlier discovery
Commercial engine: your bid volume is derived from deals and win rate; months of earlier discovery add pursuable bids; the win-rate uplift applies to all bids. Operational engine: research hours saved are valued at fully-loaded cost.

Interpreting your results
Executives want the combined, conservative case: if we buy this visibility, what changes on the P&L, and how fast do we know?

Frequently asked questions
Why combine revenue and productivity effects in one model?
Because that is how the investment actually behaves — the same subscription simultaneously feeds the funnel and frees the team.
Is the ROI figure inflated by stacking assumptions?
No — the model uses conservative assumptions and shows each effect separately.

The decisive question for any tool: how fast does it pay for itself? For project intelligence, the answer is usually a fraction of a single win. Run your numbers and see.
Cost of Inaction Calculator
"Let's revisit it next quarter" feels free. It isn't. Every month without proper project visibility, you pay in missed wins and manual research hours — this calculator shows the running total.
