Methodology & Industry Citations

This calculator utilizes a deterministic model to quantify operational waste. The underlying variables are anchored in TTG’s historical implementation data, and contextualized by established enterprise research on the rising cost of compliance:

  • The 75% Automation Baseline: Aligns with research from McKinsey & Company, which identifies that up to 70–80% of manual data gathering, reporting, and basic compliance processing can be automated via modern workflow architecture.
  • The 10% Fragmentation Penalty: Accounts for the "Toggle Tax." Research featured in the Harvard Business Review demonstrates that knowledge workers lose approximately 9% of their annual time reorienting when constantly switching between disconnected applications. We model a compounding 10% efficiency penalty for each non-integrated system in a firm's stack.
  • The $65,000 CapEx Baseline (Adjustable): To provide functional ROI modeling, the calculator defaults to a $65,000 capital expenditure—a standard baseline for a foundational FSC and ComplianceFlow rollout. However, enterprise engagements scale dynamically based on user count, legacy integration debt, and data migration complexity. We encourage you to adjust the CapEx slider to reflect your firm's anticipated architecture budget.

Disclaimer: The projections generated by this ROI Calculator are intended for illustrative and educational purposes only. Actual financial savings, efficiency gains, and implementation costs will vary based on your firm’s specific data architecture, user adoption rates, and legacy system debt.
