roi-calculator

roi-calculator is a skill for Claude Code from adimango/ai-adoption-playbook. It costs 31 tokens per session (3,371 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A calculator for measuring and presenting the return on investment of adopting AI tools, using a founder's own figures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing an ROI calculation for a board meeting or investment review, organising real company data, labelling estimates, and identifying figures that need finance-team validation.
Why use it?
It separates savings, improved revenue, new revenue, and added capacity so the financial case is easier to examine. Missing or estimated figures are kept visible instead of being replaced with industry averages.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

roi-calculator scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ROI Calculator

Purpose

Produces a board-ready ROI calculation from the founder's actual data — not industry benchmarks. Separates ROI into four dimensions (cost efficiency, revenue optimization, new revenue, capacity gained) so the founder can tell a complete story. This is a calculation tool, not a strategy session.

Core principle: Use the founder's real numbers. If a number is estimated, label it as estimated. Never substitute industry averages for missing data — flag the gap instead.

Important: This skill helps leaders calculate and present their own numbers — it does not audit or guarantee them. Figures going to a board, CFO, or investor should be validated by the company's finance owner first.

Context Intake

Unfamiliar ~~category placeholders? See CONNECTORS.md for connected-tool categories.

Accept the input artifact in any form: a file path, pasted text, an attachment, or output from a skill run earlier in this conversation. If ~~cloud storage is connected, offer to fetch it from there.

If no artifact is provided: this skill builds on the fluency scorecard — offer to run fluency-assessment first, or proceed with the leader's verbal answers, clearly marking the output as based on self-reported data.

For Department: and Currency:, use the first available source: the scorecard → adoption.local.md (the department this run covers; by default the one marked (primary) — see CLAUDE.md Local Configuration) → ask the leader (currency defaults to USD). If the config lists multiple departments or whole org and no scorecard pins this run to one, confirm which department (or org-wide/Generic) before producing numbers.

Four ROI Dimensions

Every AI investment produces value across one or more of these dimensions. The fourth, Capacity Gained, is the question every CFO is now asking: did revenue grow faster than headcount?

Dimension What it measures Examples
Cost efficiency Time saved, spend reduced Hours saved per active user per week, reduced contractor or agency spend, fewer tools needed
Revenue optimization Existing revenue protected or grown Faster feature shipping, reduced churn from faster bug fixes, shorter sales cycles
New revenue Revenue that wouldn't exist without AI AI-powered product features, new service offerings, markets entered faster
Capacity gained Revenue growth on flat or shrinking FTE base Revenue per FTE delta (e.g. +18% revenue / flat headcount), output per FTE, work absorbed without headcount growth

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
