Frequently asked questions
What counts as 'benefit'?
Any measurable monthly value — new revenue, cost savings, or time saved converted to a dollar figure.
How do I estimate monthly benefit before launch?
Use your best evidence-based projection, then replace it with real data as soon as you have usage numbers.
What if break-even never happens?
That signals the current cost or scope isn't justified by the projected benefit — reconsider before committing further budget.
