State the business question
Describe the initiative and the decision it should inform. Keep survey measures, operational outcomes, and financial scenarios distinct.
Make the financial assumptions visible
Use the organization's documented intervention spending and replacement-cost assumptions. Show a range of plausible outcomes and explain whether each value represents a cash saving, avoided spending, redeployed capacity, or a hypothetical benefit.
Plan the evaluation
Document a comparison group or another defensible design, equal observation windows, missing outcomes, and uncertainty. Observational results require careful examination of alternative explanations.
No customer saving, general return on investment, or independently validated intervention effect is established by this article.
