value-advisory

value-advisory is a skill for Claude Code from vigneshbarani24/sap-superpowers. It costs 39 tokens per session (3,690 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for building a business case for an SAP investment by calculating costs, savings, return on investment, and other benefits. It distinguishes measurable financial savings from less direct benefits such as better visibility or decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create SAP business cases, calculate ROI or total cost of ownership, quantify benefits, validate savings claims, and plan how value will be measured.
Why use it?
It helps keep investment claims tied to current costs, calculation methods, data sources, and stated assumptions.

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

value-advisory 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.

SAP Value Advisory

This skill enforces evidence-based business case construction so that no SAP investment claim is made without a quantification methodology, a current-state cost baseline, and explicit separation of hard savings from soft benefits — the three shortcuts that produce business cases that collapse under scrutiny.

Iron Laws

  1. NEVER CLAIM SAVINGS WITHOUT A QUANTIFICATION METHODOLOGY. Saying "this will reduce processing time by 40%" without documenting how that 40% was calculated is not a business case — it is a sales pitch. Every savings claim must reference its calculation method, data source, and assumptions.
  2. ALWAYS SEPARATE HARD SAVINGS FROM SOFT BENEFITS. Hard savings (headcount reduction, license cost elimination, error fine avoidance) are fundable. Soft benefits (improved visibility, better decisions, employee satisfaction) are not budgetable. Mixing them inflates business cases and destroys credibility when audited.
  3. NEVER SKIP CURRENT-STATE COST BASELINE. A business case without a current-state baseline has no reference point. "We will save X" is meaningless without "we currently spend Y." The baseline is the foundation — without it the business case is fiction.
  4. TCO INCLUDES TOTAL COST. Total Cost of Ownership must include: software licensing, implementation, infrastructure, integration, training, change management, ongoing support, and upgrade costs. A TCO that omits categories is not a TCO — it is a partial cost.
  5. BENEFIT CLAIMS REQUIRE EVIDENCE. Industry benchmarks may support a claim but cannot be the only source. Every major benefit must be validated against client-specific data: process volumes, FTE counts, error rates, cycle times measured in this organization.

Rationalization Table

Agent Will Try To... Why It Seems Reasonable Why It Fails Counter
Use industry benchmark savings without client data "Gartner says SAP reduces DSO by 15%" Industry averages mask enormous variance. A well-run finance team may already be at benchmark. Applying average savings to a best-practice organization produces a fraudulent business case. Iron Law 5: Every major benefit must include at least one client-specific data point (actual cycle time, actual FTE cost, actual error rate).
Combine hard and soft benefits in one total "The combined value is $X million" Finance teams immediately ask "how much is hard vs. soft?" If the answer embarrasses the business case, the case is built on soft ground. Iron Law 2: Hard and soft benefits always reported separately, never combined into a single headline number.
Skip the investment cost section "The client knows the implementation costs" Clients systematically underestimate change management, training, and ongoing support costs. A business case that shows only benefits without full TCO is misleading and damages trust. Iron Law 4: TCO section is mandatory. Every cost category must be addressed — even if the answer is $0.
Build the business case top-down from a target "The sponsor wants to see $10M savings" Top-down business cases reverse-engineer justifications for a predetermined conclusion. They collapse the moment a skeptic asks "where does that number come from?" Checklist Step 2: Build bottom-up from measured baseline. Never start from a target and work backwards.
Use vague benefit language "Improved efficiency and reduced manual effort" Vague benefits cannot be tracked or audited. When value realization reviews happen 12 months post-go-live, unmeasured benefits are always deemed "not achieved." Every benefit must have a baseline metric, target metric, measurement method, and measurement owner.
Ignore payback period and NPV "The ROI is clearly positive" ROI without time dimension is incomplete. A 200% ROI over 10 years may be inferior to a 50% ROI in 18 months depending on the organization's hurdle rate. Checklist Step 5: Financial model must include payback period, NPV at 3 and 5 years, and IRR.
Claim FTE savings without workforce plan "We will save 5 FTEs" FTE "savings" that result in retained headcount doing lower-value work are not savings — they are redeployments. Actual savings require a workforce plan showing what happens to those FTEs. Hard Gate: FTE savings claims must specify: reduction, redeployment to higher-value work, or natural attrition — not all three can be claimed simultaneously.
