Deliver a Day In the Life Demonstration
• A risk adjusted analysis of the proposed solution's impact resulted in $12,616,018 of three year cumulative benefits.
• Of these projected benefits, $206,719 are direct (hard) benefits and $12,409,299 are indirect (soft) benefits.
• Comparing the costs and benefits of the proposed project using discounted cash flow analysis and factoring in a risk-adjusted discount rate of 9.5%, the proposed business case predicts: Risk Adjusted Return on Investment (RA ROI) of
505% Net Present Value (NPV) savings of $8,520,415 Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 1,166% Payback period of 11.0 months
