The short answer
Paloren provides an AI ROI calculator framework that uses your workflow data rather than invented averages, so assumptions stay visible and testable.
Use an AI ROI calculator with your own workflow data. Enter annual cases, hours per case, loaded hourly cost and expected time saved. Include build, data, training, monitoring and internal review costs before approving a business case.
What this can change for your team
- Evidence-based case
- Scoped build
- Training plan

How does the AI ROI calculator work?
Enter current workflow metrics and compare scenarios.
How we make this work
The calculator below estimates the annual effect of reducing time spent on a workflow. Enter the number of cases per year, hours per case, loaded hourly cost and expected time saved. The estimate is a planning aid, not a forecast. Paloren recommends using real internal data and documenting every assumption.
- Annual cases
- Hours per case
- Loaded hourly cost

What costs should ROI include?
Build, data, training, operation and change.
How we make this work
ROI should include scoped build costs, data preparation, integration work, training, monitoring, support and the internal time required for review. It should also include ongoing ownership and change management. Paloren does not include invented industry prices here. Use scoped proposals and internal estimates for each line.
- Build and data work
- Training and monitoring
- Internal review time

Before we begin
Questions we get asked, answered with numbers
What is a good AI ROI?
It depends on the workflow, scope and assumptions. Compare against your current cost, not against an industry average.
Should I include training?
Yes. Training, adoption and monitoring are part of making the system useful.
Can I trust a calculator?
Treat it as a planning aid. Verify inputs with internal data and scoped proposals.
What is the next step?
Review the workflow with the people who do the work and request a scoped proposal.
