roi-business-case

roi-business-case is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from swan-gtm/gtm-skills. It costs 140 tokens per session (1,750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A business case that estimates a purchase's financial impact using worst-case, average-case, and best-case scenarios with stated assumptions. An ROI review compares expected gains with the cost of an investment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before procurement, finance review, or executive approval to model the cost of a problem and the possible value of solving it.
Why use it?
It makes the numbers easier for finance and other skeptical reviewers to examine than a single optimistic estimate. It gives the buyer a case they can explain internally.

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-business-case 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 9d 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose & When to Use

Single-number ROI cases lose credibility the moment finance sees them. A seller who shows one big, optimistic figure looks exactly like what they are — a seller. The buyer's internal reviewers discount it on sight, and the champion is stuck defending a number they didn't build and don't believe. Gal's fix is to model a range: worst, average, and best case. Showing the downside is what makes the upside believable. It signals you're impartial, it survives a skeptical finance review, and it pre-handles the "you're inflating this" objection before anyone raises it.

This skill builds that case. It takes the buyer's root-cause problem and baselines, models three scenarios with explicit assumptions, and produces a one-page business case the champion can carry into procurement and finance and actually defend.

Run this skill when any of these are true:

  • The deal is heading into procurement, finance, or exec sign-off.
  • The champion needs an internal justification for the spend.
  • You've been showing (or are tempted to show) a single optimistic ROI number.
  • Finance or a skeptic is likely to challenge your numbers.
  • You want the AE to look like an honest advisor, not a pitch.

Do not build this on a problem whose impact you can't ground in the buyer's own baselines. A 3-scenario model built on invented inputs is just three fantasies instead of one. If you have no real baseline, the first task is getting it — see Step 1.

Procedure

Inputs you need

Collect these before modeling. Where a baseline or assumption is missing, do not fabricate it — mark it [CONFIRM WITH BUYER] and make confirming it part of building the case with the champion.

  • Deal context: company, champion (name + role), deal stage, price/investment, contract term.
  • The root-cause problem you're solving — the mechanism behind the pain, in the buyer's words, ideally validated in discovery.
  • Baseline metrics tied to that problem — current volume, time, headcount, cycle length, conversion, churn, cost — whatever the ROI hinges on. Use the buyer's numbers, not industry averages.
  • The mechanism of improvement — how your solution changes each baseline metric.
  • The investment — total cost over the term, so ROI and payback are real, not gross "value created."
  • Who will scrutinize the case — finance, procurement, exec — and what they care about.
