It is not automatically a cash saving. A 2% time saving does not mean payroll falls by 2%; it means the organization may process more work, avoid incremental hiring, or redirect effort. Use a conservative share when adoption is uncertain. Higher employee count, loaded cost, or time saved increases the modeled benefit proportionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eCustomer retention\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe retention benefit equals customers × acquisition cost × the reduction in annual churn × years. The post-implementation churn rate cannot exceed the baseline in this model; if it does, the retention benefit is zero rather than negative. Use comparable annual churn definitions and avoid claiming that HR software alone caused every retention improvement. This category is most relevant where better staffing, service continuity, or workforce analytics plausibly affect customer experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eHow do legacy-system and margin benefits work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eDiscontinued hardware, software, and maintenance are annual avoided costs. Enter only expenses that will actually end; a legacy platform running in parallel during migration should remain in the cost base until retirement. Profit improvement equals annual sales × the increase from the old margin to the new margin × years. Both margin inputs must use the same definition, such as operating margin or contribution margin. Small margin changes applied to large revenue bases can dominate the result, so they need strong operational evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther measurable benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e capture documented gains not represented elsewhere, such as reduced printing, fewer external processing fees, or avoided temporary labor.
