Calculate the ROI for a project that cost $5,000 to create, saved 100 hours of onboarding at $50/hr, avoided 20 support tickets at $100 each, and has a knowledge transfer value of $2,000 with a freshness factor of 0.9.

The total investment is $5,000. The total savings are $9,000 ($5,000 from onboarding, $2,000 from support, and $2,000 from knowledge transfer). With a freshness factor of 0.9, the adjusted profit is $3,100, resulting in a 62% ROI.

Is a documentation project with $10,000 investment and $8,000 savings profitable?

No, the project is currently in the red as the total savings do not exceed the total investment.

What are the maintenance costs for a project that took 50 hours to create, with a 10% annual maintenance rate and an hourly rate of $60?

The annual maintenance cost is $300, and the five-year cumulative cost is $1,500.

The ROI is calculated by subtracting the total investment (hours spent multiplied by hourly rate) from the total savings (onboarding, support, and knowledge transfer) and dividing by the investment.
