Use measured time savings rather than projections for a credible figure.
How it works
ROI on AI is dominated by hours recovered, not licence price. A tool that saves two hours a week per person pays for itself at almost any realistic seat price.
Be conservative with the hours figure and measure it after rollout - projected savings that never appear in a calendar are the usual reason AI programs get cut.
Worked example
Ten engineers
10 people saving 4 hours a month at $70/hour is $2,800 of recovered time against $600 of spend - a 367% return.
