Methodology & Definitions
Net Present Value (NPV): This calculator uses a standard Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model. It discounts future benefits to today's dollars using your specified discount rate (default 8%), providing a true picture of economic value over time.
Risk-Adjusted Payback: Unlike simple payback calculators, we account for "Time to Value"—the implementation lag before benefits are realized. Costs are front-loaded, while benefits ramp up, resulting in a more realistic break-even timeline.
Sensitivity Analysis: The output includes Conservative (50%), Moderate (100%), and Aggressive (125%) scenarios. This helps technical marketers present a defensible business case to CFOs by acknowledging uncertainty in projected lifts.
