Cash that can actually leave the budget

Avoided contractor hours are part of the capacity released. Count only expense you can remove.

Programme fee is an editable assumption, not a TIP quote.

How the numbers work

Released hours = (current − target team days) × hours/day × cycles × comparable workflows × adoption. Cash benefit = removable contractor hours × avoided rate. Remaining hours × internal rate is non-cash capacity value, excluded from cash ROI.

Cash ROI = (first-year cash benefits − all first-year cash costs) / all first-year cash costs. Benefits start in the selected month, ramp, then reach steady state. Running costs start in month one. Payback interpolates the first cumulative break-even within 36 months. NPV discounts monthly cash flows using the annual rate. All amounts are GBP, pre-tax; no terminal value.

The website is an interactive preview. The downloadable workbook was AI-generated and uses native Excel formulas. It does not require an AI subscription to calculate. In the sessions, teams use their approved AI tools to build, explain and check Excel work; human validation remains essential.
