## ROI Model

AI quoting ROI should combine:

- Annual quote, bid, RFP, or takeoff volume.
- Manual hours spent per quote before automation.
- Blended hourly cost for estimators, proposal managers, sales engineers, pricing teams, and reviewers.
- Percent of repeatable work that can be automated while preserving human review.
- Average deal value.
- Win rate.
- Gross margin.
- Monthly software and implementation cost.

The core model is:

```text
Annual labor savings = annual quote volume * manual hours per quote * automation rate * blended hourly cost
Added bid capacity = annual saved hours / manual hours per quote
Expected margin lift = added bid capacity * win rate * average deal value * gross margin
Net annual value = annual labor savings + expected margin lift - annual software cost
Payback period = annual software cost / monthly gross benefit
```

## Best Fit

The calculator is most useful for:

- Construction estimators evaluating takeoff AI and automated quantity takeoff.
- Proposal teams evaluating RFP AI and RFP response automation.
- Manufacturers quoting configurable products from drawings, CAD, specifications, and tender packages.
- Revenue operations teams connecting AI extraction to Salesforce CPQ, Revenue Cloud, ERP, pricing workbooks, and approval workflows.
