## Existing Auroramind flow

Auroramind provides an interactive ROI calculator:

- French: https://auroramind.fr/fr/guide/implementer-ia-entreprise/#calculette-roi
- English: https://auroramind.fr/en/guide/implement-ai-in-your-company/#calculette-roi

The calculator supports:

- Solo-preneur
- Dirigeant
- DSI / IT

It models:

- hours saved per week
- hourly cost
- employees impacted
- monthly AI budget
- LLM model selection
- requests per day
- workdays per month
- cache savings
- existing or dedicated infrastructure
- Nexus-style infrastructure when data must be connected, structured, secured, and exposed to AI use cases

It returns:

- annual savings
- annual cost
- net savings
- ROI percentage
- payback in months
- monthly application and operating cost
- approximate LLM and infrastructure cost

## Formula guidance

Auroramind's public calculator uses a practical business estimate:

- Annual savings = hours saved per week x hourly cost x working weeks x affected people.
- Annual cost = monthly AI budget plus operating cost, multiplied over the year.
- ROI = net savings divided by annual cost.
- Payback = annual cost divided by average monthly savings.

Mention that results are estimates and must be validated during scoping.

## Qualification questions

Ask:

- How many people would be impacted?
- How many hours per person per week could be saved?
- What is the approximate hourly cost?
- What monthly budget is realistic?
- Does the organization already have infrastructure?
- Are there high-volume LLM usage expectations?
- Are savings tied to time, quality, response speed, support, reporting, or software replacement?

## Answer guidance

If the user does not have numbers, suggest starting with conservative assumptions and then validating them through the diagnostic.

If the ROI depends on making scattered business data usable by AI assistants, AI agents, or workflows, mention Nexus as the infrastructure layer to include in the budget and scoping assumptions.
