RDI economics
RDI value should be measured by workflow outcome, evidence quality, and confidence, not by vague productivity claims.

Value pillars
Confidence, evidence, capacity
Three value families keep the economics honest.
Value system
Measure the workflow, not the feature.
Confidence
Know the real state of work without depending only on meetings, memory, or filtered updates.
Evidence
Prove what happened with records that are time-aligned, location-aware, and preserved.
Capacity
Control more work without adding the same amount of manual reporting, chasing, and review.
Method
Measure value through the loop
The calculation begins with the workflow.

Rules
Credibility rules
The public method separates directional education from project-specific analysis.
- 01
Start with the workflow
The value case should name the trigger, evidence, decision, action, and outcome being improved.
- 02
Show assumptions
Every estimate needs visible inputs: frequency, baseline effort, expected change, range, and confidence.
- 03
Separate savings from risk
Predictable effort reduction and avoided low-frequency loss are both value, but they should not be blended without explanation.
- 04
Attach evidence
The strongest value claims link back to field evidence, workflow records, or anonymized benchmark data.
Run a directional estimate in the ROI calculator, then compare the project against the maturity assessment.
