Independent Validation Framework

Recommended approach for validating ROI projections before implementation

Pre-Implementation Assessment

1. Current State Analysis

  • • Document existing FTE allocation and costs
  • • Map current process efficiency baseline
  • • Quantify historical risk event costs
  • • Assess data quality and integration readiness

2. Organisational Readiness

  • • Change management capability assessment
  • • Technology infrastructure evaluation
  • • Stakeholder commitment analysis
  • • Resource availability confirmation

3. Third-Party Validation

  • • Independent ROI assessment
  • • Peer organisation benchmarking
  • • Reference customer interviews
  • • Technology due diligence review
