Describe the program and the workforce it affects. These figures drive every downstream calculation.
The fully-loaded hourly cost of the average affected employee — used to price training time and productivity effects.
Fully-loaded build costs, amortized across the program's life.
Recurring costs each time the program runs.
Switch on the outcomes this training will move. Each is estimated conservatively, then adjusted for attribution and confidence in Step 05.
Model AI on both sides of the ledger — faster/cheaper development, and productivity from AI-enabled performance support.
The difference between a defensible number and hype. Discount every benefit for how much the training truly caused, and how confident you are.
