Compliance Business-Case Calculator
Explore a hypothetical compliance business case using your own cost and deal assumptions, with sales timing shown separately from incremental revenue.

This calculator is an arithmetic planning aid. It does not forecast revenue, establish a causal link between compliance and sales, or recommend an investment. The initial numbers are illustrative inputs, not QuickTrust customer results or market benchmarks.
Replace every input with an assumption your finance and sales teams can explain. Consider whether a deal is truly blocked by an unmet requirement and whether other obstacles remain. Set uncertain benefits to zero in a conservative scenario.
Understand what the model adds
The incremental-benefit scenario multiplies the number of additional deals by their average annual contract value and adds the insurance savings you enter. It subtracts the year-one compliance investment to calculate a simple return relative to that investment.
Annual contract value is not profit or necessarily cash received in the first year. The model does not account for delivery costs, gross margin, taxes, discounting, probabilities, churn, or implementation delay. Use a separate financial model for a budget decision.
Keep timing effects separate
The sales-cycle calculation multiplies annual deal count by average contract value and by the days saved divided by 365. It is a simplified annualized timing illustration. Faster collection of existing revenue is not the same as earning additional revenue, so this value is displayed separately and excluded from the return calculation.
Avoid counting a single deal in both the incremental-deal assumption and a separate business-case benefit. Insurance savings should come from a relevant quotation or renewal discussion, not from an assumed reward for obtaining a report.
Compare conservative and optimistic cases
Start with no incremental deals and no insurance savings. Then add only benefits with a documented rationale. Include platform costs, implementation work, assessment fees, and internal effort in the investment input. Keep non-financial requirements visible even where this calculator cannot assign a value.
Inputs are calculated locally in the page and are not submitted as a lead. Use Contact for a separate scope discussion, review pricing, or explore compliance implementation for startups.
Model your first-year business case
Replace the example assumptions with your own numbers. The result is an estimate, not a revenue guarantee.
Hypothetical incremental benefit
$372,000
Simple scenario return
381%
Annualized sales timing illustration: $123,288. Excluded from the return calculation because earlier revenue is not additional revenue.
Contract value is not profit. This model excludes delivery costs, probabilities and discounting. Validate assumptions with finance, sales and security, and avoid counting the same deal more than once.
