Report “Palm”
Incremental AI cost: £318,000.00 per year. These are two different valuations of the same output gain. Do not add them together. Neither value is a guaranteed minimum or maximum.
Capacity-based value
The cost of the engineer time used for more work. It is not a cash saving.
£836,151.75 per year · ROI 162.94%
Revenue-linked value
A hypothetical contribution scenario. It is not a sales forecast.
£28,451.61 per year · ROI -91.05%

- Capacity-based and revenue-linked values are two alternative valuations of the same output gain. Never add them.
- Neither valuation is a guaranteed minimum or maximum; which one is higher depends on the inputs.
- Capacity value is the cost-equivalent of redeployed engineer time, not a payroll or cash saving.
- Revenue-linked value is a hypothetical scenario based on stated assumptions, not a causal sales forecast.
- Illustrative estimate - not an observed financial result until supported by evidence.
- Dodone Model v1 is a controlled draft for independent methodological audit; it has not been audited.
- One 12-month period; a new AI tool compared with no tool. Not valid for replacing an existing AI tool.
