TECHNOLOGY ROI CALCULATOR
What is your technology budget actually worth?
Most boards can say what technology costs and almost none can say what it returns. Four inputs (revenue, country, industry, and what you are trying to do) give you the number in three parts: what you can measure, what you can feel, and what standing still would have cost you.
Your inputs are not stored until you choose to receive your report.
Where the numbers come from
Your industry sets two things: what companies like yours spend on IT as a share of revenue, and how that budget splits between running what exists, growing it, and transforming it. Only the second and third parts create value, since Run simply keeps the lights on, so the model works off Grow-and-Transform, not off the whole budget. Your country adjusts the spend to its region, and your objectives adjust the multiple, because a cost-reduction programme and a new-revenue programme do not return the same thing per dollar.
The multiple itself, and the ratios that turn tangible value into intangible value and avoided risk, are calibrated on a real case: a $1B discrete manufacturer with a $25M IT budget, 45% of it Grow-and-Transform, which came out at a 4.18x complete value ratio. That is one case, honestly stated. Treat the output as a range you can argue with, not a business case. The disclaimer under the report says the same thing.
Why the intangible and the counterfactual are counted at all
Because leaving them out is how technology investment gets underwritten. A wrong strategic decision taken on bad data, a leadership team spending against each other, a quarter lost to a slipped programme: none of those appear in a benefit case, and all of them are paid for. The same is true of waiting: data debt, the people who leave, the competitor who does not wait. This model prices both, at ratios drawn from the same case rather than from optimism.
What it will not do is tell you which of your programmes to fund. That needs your actual portfolio, and a baseline you can defend, which is what DAIMI measures and the natural next conversation from any number this produces.
