Executive value model · editable assumptions

Turn your data estate into a business case.

Capacity represents productive value, not an assumed headcount reduction. TTM estimates reflect assisted effort reduction: Veracy accelerates coordination and evidence preparation while preserving the human judgment and organizational alignment each decision requires. Migration and parallel-run costs are not included.

Methodology · transparent by design

A planning model you can challenge.

Every headline traces to a stated assumption: editable client inputs plus disclosed planning constants. Cash spend, productive capacity and timing opportunity remain separate.

01Foundation

Shape the current estate

Allocate today’s fixed annual operating budget across platform, engineering, governance and coordination. Changing the mix does not change the total.

CATEGORY COST = ANNUAL COST × CATEGORY SHARE

02Capacity

Translate cost into effort

Convert the three people-work budgets into equivalent person-hours and FTEs. These inputs change units, not economic value.

ANNUAL PERSON-HOURS = PEOPLE-WORK BUDGET ÷ LOADED COST / HOUR

03Competitive advantage

Value the advantage of moving sooner

Keep the TTM opportunity separate from effort and operating benefit so its commercial assumptions can be challenged or excluded.

TIMING VALUE = OUTCOMES × MODELED WEEKS / OUTCOME × VALUE / OUTCOME-WEEK

04Scenario

Apply the planning case

Use the scenario as a base-mix target, then derive distinct category rates for engineering, governance and coordination.

CATEGORY RATE = SCENARIO TARGET × STAGE FACTOR ÷ BASE-MIX FACTOR

Interpretation guardrails

Read before deciding

Recovered capacity is productive value—not an automatic headcount reduction.
Person-hours are cumulative effort, not wall-clock cycle time; human judgment and organizational alignment remain essential.
Equivalent weeks are summed across modeled outcomes and may overlap in calendar time.
Timing value is illustrative until validated against observed cycle times, independent outcomes and outcome economics.
Combined opportunity adds operating benefit and TTM only when both are independently realizable and non-overlapping.
Migration and parallel-run costs are not included in the modeled result.
Category rates use illustrative stage factors of 1× engineering, 2× governance and 4× coordination, with a 0.1 cascade step, normalized to the base mix.
