Direct answer

This guide shows how to quantify cycle-time savings, reduced escalations, and improved deal progression. Teams can use the model to prioritize investments and align security, GTM, and finance stakeholders on expected outcomes.

When to use
- Leadership needs ROI analysis for trust workflow investment.

- You are planning budget expansion for trust operations.
When not to use
- No baseline metrics exist for current workflow costs.
- Pipeline attribution data is unreliable.
- You cannot validate assumptions with recent deal data.
Implementation steps
- Collect baseline metrics for cycle time and review effort.
- Estimate post-rollout improvements from pilot or benchmark data.
- Model conservative, expected, and aggressive outcome scenarios.
- Review results quarterly and refine assumptions.
Security and compliance caveats
- Avoid overstating benefits without verifiable data.
- Include control-maintenance effort in cost assumptions.
- Keep metrics governance separate from sales compensation logic.
