Our Calculation Methodology

We don't just use arbitrary numbers. Our models are built on actual consumer behavior patterns and market price fluctuations.

  1. 01

    Direct Cost Delta

    We analyze the subscription fee against quantifiable usage metrics or the cost of alternative services.

  2. 02

    Time Substitution

    For entertainment, we factor in how many hours of high-quality content you consume relative to theater prices.

  3. 03

    Utility ROI

    For professional tools, we calculate billable efficiency gains and project-based ROI based on user inputs.
