Assessment focus
P2P, operating model, supplier leakage, S2P efficiency, or AI / automation readiness.
Execution ROI Signal™
No black box. Just transparent assumptions.
The Execution ROI Signal™ Calculator is a free decision-support tool. It uses the values you enter to estimate cost, benefit, payback, ROI, and signal strength.
It does not guarantee outcomes and does not replace a formal business case, audit, or financial review.
What this calculator is
A free signal tool, not a forced sales process.
The calculator is public and free to use. There is no obligation to contact KULIC Advisory, no hidden sales requirement, and no requirement to work with KULIC Advisory afterwards.
It is designed to help leaders structure investment thinking before committing budget. You can use the result internally, challenge it with your team, or ignore it if the assumptions are not useful.
Input quality
Where the data comes from
The calculator uses only user-entered values. It does not pull external benchmarks, validate commercial accuracy, or check whether the assumptions match your accounting, procurement, or operating reality. The quality of the output depends on the quality of the assumptions entered.
Inputs used
The current calculator fields
The current implementation reads these fields from the page. Assessment focus gives context, but it does not change the financial formula.
Annual addressable spend
The annual spend or value base used for leakage potential.
Annual transactions
POs, invoices, sourcing events, or relevant process transactions per year.
Manual minutes and hourly cost
Average manual effort per transaction and fully loaded hourly cost.
Error or rework rate
Percentage entered as a whole number, for example 5 for 5%.
Estimated value leakage
Percentage entered as a whole number, for example 1.5 for 1.5%.
Implementation or advisory investment
The budget or investment required to address the issue.
Conservative, realistic, ambitious
Scenario multipliers are 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75. Realistic is the default.
Formula logic
How the calculation works
The calculator strips formatting from numeric inputs, treats non-valid numbers as zero, and does not allow negative values in the calculation.
Manual effort cost
(annual transactions x manual minutes x hourly cost) / 60
Rework cost
manual effort cost x error rate x 1.5
Gross leakage potential
annual addressable spend x leakage rate
Gross annual potential
manual effort cost + rework cost + gross leakage potential
Adjusted annual potential
gross annual potential x scenario multiplier
ROI and payback
ROI = adjusted annual potential / investmentpayback months = investment / adjusted annual potential x 12
If investment or adjusted annual potential is zero, the calculator returns the empty state instead of an ROI result.
Signal strength
How to interpret the signal
The signal is directional. It depends entirely on the assumptions entered and should be treated as an executive discussion signal, not as project approval.
CriticalROI is 6.0x or higher.
HighROI is 3.0x to below 6.0x.
MediumROI is at least 1.5x and adjusted annual potential is at least EUR 50,000.
LowDefault signal when the above thresholds are not met.
Limits
What this tool is not
This tool is not a financial guarantee, not a formal audit, not legal, tax, financial, or compliance advice, and not a replacement for detailed business case validation.
It is also not proof that a project should automatically proceed and not a promise that any project will achieve the calculated result.
Privacy
Privacy and data handling
The calculator runs client-side in the browser. The calculator form has no backend submit endpoint, and no personal data is required to use it.
In the current implementation, the entered calculator values are not stored by KULIC Advisory. The page may emit privacy-safe interaction events such as field names or signal level if analytics is configured, but it does not send the entered financial values through the form.
Use it well
Better inputs make better signals.
Use conservative assumptions, test low / base / high scenarios, include recurring costs in your investment thinking, and challenge benefit estimates before using the result in an internal discussion.
Treat the output as a decision signal and conversation starter, not as final approval.
Next step, only if useful
If the number raises a real question.
If the number raises a real question, you can use it internally, challenge it with your team, or book a Value Snapshot™. There is no obligation to work with KULIC Advisory.
