ROI Verification: Replace Industry Averages with Your Own Data
Industry averages are for screening only. This article provides a six-step on-site verification method and a parameter review checklist to support auditable conclusions.
Six-step on-site verification
- 1Select samples: 3–5 typical project batches, 20–100 sheets each, covering A0–A4.
- 2Record the traditional baseline: roll length or area, manual operation time, submission count, and reprints.
- 3Run product: precheck, layout, visual confirmation, and batch generation.
- 4Compare results: media utilization, total roll length, manual operation time, and output file completeness.
- 5Annualize: Extrapolate annual media and time savings from monthly batch volume or annual working days.
- 6Summarize: Report the enterprise's actual annual media area, roll usage, manual hours, and quantifiable benefits.
Parameter review checklist
- Manual time saved per output: the white paper uses 60 seconds; update to your measured value.
- Media unit price: The white paper uses 2.40 CNY/m². Replace this with your actual purchase price, including framework discounts.
- Direct wage: The white paper cites approximately 76 CNY/hour; adjust to your own labor cost basis.
- Layout utilization: 84% is a measured demo value, and 90% represents a high-utilization sensitivity scenario; neither is a commitment.
- Annual output: derive from historical data, not extrapolated from seat count.
How to state conclusions
Report state verification conclusions as ranges, not single values. Tag each parameter with its source (measured / procurement contract / HR basis) to ensure auditability during internal approval and subsequent reviews.
Separate quantifiable benefits (media and time) from hard-to-quantify ones (fewer reprints, delivery consistency, traceability), and avoid converting the latter into the former, as this inflates conclusions.
