01
Spend baseline
Pulls external service spend, tooling costs, and internal headcount into a single baseline so comparisons start from real numbers, not anecdotes.

ROI
AI Transformation ROI Model
A return-on-investment tool that quantifies what structured AI and process improvement is actually worth — translating in-house cycle times, external service spend, and avoided incidents into a defensible ROI number so leaders can justify investment and show where process change pays off.
How it works
A model for showing what a AI or process investment actually returns — baseline spend, cycle-time change, avoided cost, and the scenarios in between — in a form a finance team will accept.
It is deliberately conservative: assumptions are explicit and adjustable rather than buried.
What it covers
02
Cycle-time impact
Measures how review, intake, or escalation workflows change time-to-resolution before and after a process or tool is introduced.
03
Avoided-cost modeling
Estimates the value of incidents, regulatory exposure, and contract leakage avoided through earlier intervention — the ROI piece teams struggle most to quantify.
04
Benchmark comparison
Compares unit costs and cycle times against peer benchmarks for similar matters so leaders can see where they over- or under-perform.
05
Scenario planning
Lets teams model the budget impact of adding headcount, adopting a tool, or shifting a matter type in-house before committing to the change.
06
Board-ready reporting
Rolls the analysis into a one-page ROI summary with assumptions visible, so finance and leadership can stress-test the numbers rather than trust a black box.
What it needs from you
The inputs that make the output useful. Missing any of these usually shows up as a vague result.
- Spend baseline
- Current internal hours and external service spend by matter type.
- Volume data
- How many contracts, reviews, or escalations per period.
- Cycle times
- Current turnaround, before any change.
- Assumptions
- Expected time savings, adoption rate, and tooling cost.
What you get back
Representative outputs, with illustrative examples. Every output is reviewed by a qualified professional before it is relied on.
ROI summary
Net benefit over a defined period with payback point.
Net $412k over 12 months; payback at month 5.
Scenario comparison
Conservative, expected, and optimistic cases side by side.
Conservative 1.6x, expected 3.1x, optimistic 4.4x return.
Board-ready summary
One page with the numbers, assumptions, and risks stated plainly.
Assumes 60% adoption; sensitivity: below 35% adoption returns turn negative.
