This calculator exists so technology investments can be modeled the same way a CFO would model any capital project — with measurable drivers, defensible assumptions, and clear audit trails. No vendor guarantees, no unverifiable benchmarks, no black-box math.
Drivers like hours saved, cycle-time reduction, and working capital changes are framed as outcomes — not vendor features. The model works for Sage Intacct, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Workday, Oracle, or any platform you are evaluating.
Every formula, definition, and discount rate is documented on the methodology page and cited on the sources page. Each page lists a last-reviewed date so finance teams can see when the framework was last touched.
Physician compensation allocations, provider profitability, multi-entity consolidations, and HIPAA-relevant data handling are first-class — not afterthoughts. The same patterns translate to multi-location practices and post-acute groups.
When in doubt, assume lower benefits and higher costs. Headcount reduction is not assumed unless the org has agreed to it; productivity realization is separated from raw time saved so adoption risk stays visible.
The full step-by-step is documented on the methodology page. Definitions live in the glossary. Common questions are answered on the FAQ.
