PROVE TDI

Decision economics · Interactive estimate

What is your technology decision really costing?

Estimate the effort, delay and avoidable rework around a technology decision. Change the assumptions. See the economics.

Illustrative model · User-defined assumptions · Not verified savings

Currency is a denomination only — no exchange rate is applied. Changing it loads a fresh fictional example in that currency.

What could PROVE TDI help you recover?

Illustrative scenario based on your assumptions · not verified savings

Potential net value after PROVE TDI costs
€22,450
Potential economic value
€30,400
PROVE TDI fee and other process costs
€7,950
Estimated net value
€22,450
Staff capacity recovered
€11,400
120 hours

Valued time. Not a payroll cash saving unless spend actually falls.

Potential advisory cash spend avoided
€9,000

Cash only if those advisory fees are genuinely not contracted.

Possible cost of decision delay avoided
€10,000

Opportunity-cost scenario, not realised revenue.

− PROVE TDI fee€4,950
− Other adoption costs€3,000
= Net scenario value€22,450

Process costs · with and without

Without structured decision process€60,400
With PROVE TDI (illustrative)€47,950
Process cost difference (lower)
€12,450
+ Delay opportunity value (separate)
€10,000
= Estimated net value
€22,450

Process costs are internal time at your hourly rate plus external advisory; "with" includes the fee and other costs. Delay is excluded from both bars, so the bar difference alone is not the net value.

What changes? (illustrative mechanism)

  • Evidence-led requirements agreed up front
  • Fewer duplicated evaluations across teams or sites
  • More targeted expert reviews instead of broad advisory scope
  • Shorter decision delay, as you have modelled it
  • Retained proof for later approvals and audits

Effects depend on your assumptions; not a measured PROVE TDI outcome.

If these assumptions hold, PROVE TDI may free 120 staff hours (capacity valued at €11,400), avoid €9,000 of advisory spend and reduce delay exposure by an estimated €10,000 of opportunity cost. After the modelled PROVE TDI fee and other costs of €7,950, the estimated economic value is €22,450. This is an illustrative scenario, not a verified cash saving.

  • Cash savings: money not spent (e.g. advisory not contracted). Marginal cost: what one more week or hour actually costs. Capacity: valued staff time that is freed but not removed from payroll.
  • Sensitivity applies the realisation share to staff, advisory and delay savings only; fee and other costs stay fixed.
  • All example figures are fictional and do not describe any real organisation, vendor or Prove TDI outcome.
