It returns:

- annual savings
- annual cost
- net savings
- ROI percentage
- payback in months
- monthly application and operating cost
- approximate LLM and infrastructure cost

## Formula guidance

Auroramind's public calculator uses a practical business estimate:

- Annual savings = hours saved per week x hourly cost x working weeks x affected people.
- Annual cost = monthly AI budget plus operating cost, multiplied over the year.
- ROI = net savings divided by annual cost.
- Payback = annual cost divided by average monthly savings.

Mention that results are estimates and must be validated during scoping.

## Qualification questions

Ask:

- How many people would be impacted?
- How many hours per person per week could be saved?
- What is the approximate hourly cost?
- What monthly budget is realistic?
- Does the organization already have infrastructure?
- Are there high-volume LLM usage expectations?
- Are savings tied to time, quality, response speed, support, reporting, or software replacement?

## Answer guidance

If the user does not have numbers, suggest starting with conservative assumptions and then validating them through the diagnostic.
