ROI calculator
See hours, cash, and payback from your actual GRC load.
Change headcount, frameworks, and rates. The model discounts overlapping frameworks, charges a silo penalty only when you still run separate QMS/EHS/cyber tools, and recomputes audit days from remaining effort.
Your program
Sets baseline audit-prep hours for one primary management system.
First framework is full load. Each extra overlapping library adds 45% (55% control inheritance).
Use internal loaded cost or external consultant rate in USD. AED toggle converts the result panel only.
Illustrative default from size and frameworks. Replace with the figure in your proposal.
Counted as consolidation savings only when the silo box is checked. Leave at 0 if you are unsure.
Year-1 result
Model assumptions
- Primary-framework hours interpolate from 100 hrs (10 staff) to 400 hrs (5,000 staff).
- Each extra overlapping framework adds 45% of a primary load (55% control inheritance).
- Separate QMS / EHS / cyber tools add 25% duplicate testing.
- 80% of evidence and mapping hours are automated; 20% stay with humans.
- Audit days = hours ÷ 12 (two people × six productive hours).
- AED conversion uses the USD peg of 3.6725. This is an estimate, not a quote.

How this result was calculated
Primary framework hours 130.0 × effective load 2.35 × silo factor 1.25 = 382 hrs manual.
80% automation → 306 hrs saved, 76 hrs remain for humans.
