1. Direct Benefits
Quantifiable hard-dollar impacts (3-year total)

e.g., 3 FTEs × $80K × 3 years = $720,000

e.g., 3% lift on $50M × 3 years = $4.5M

e.g., Inventory reduction $1.8M/year × 3 = $5.4M

Direct Benefits Total:$0
2. Indirect Benefits
Softer but real improvements converted to financial value

Value of better decisions (avoided bad investments)

Value of faster launches (earlier revenue)

Reduced turnover, higher productivity value

Indirect Benefits Total:$0
3. Risk Mitigation Value

How the TEI Framework Works
Understanding Total Economic Impact calculation methodology

Direct Benefits

Quantifiable hard-dollar impacts including labor cost savings (reduced FTEs), revenue increases (incremental sales), and cost avoidance (expenses prevented). Use before-and-after measurement with financial validation.

Indirect Benefits

Softer but real improvements converted to financial value: better decisions (avoided bad investments), faster time-to-market (earlier revenue), improved employee experience (retention savings).

Risk Mitigation

Probability-weighted value of bad outcomes avoided: compliance fines (probability × fine amount), security breaches (attack probability × breach cost), disruptions minimized.

Strategic Value

Future capabilities enabled: AI platform for innovations, competitive moat (capability competitors lack), market expansion opportunities. Conservative estimate of future value.
