## Description

Rolling out a new AI feature is never just a technical task; it's a massive operational commitment. Before you commit resources, you need to know the true cost. This MCP helps you quantify the support burden, financial costs, and documentation ROI associated with AI-driven features. You can determine the normalized support intensity for any feature, calculate the total financial cost of support, and assess if your documentation investment is actually paying off. It also helps you measure how user onboarding quality affects the immediate support load, giving you a full picture of risk before you hit publish.

## Tools

### allocate_support_cost
Use this tool to calculate the total money spent supporting a specific AI feature.

### analyze_onboarding_impact
This tool assesses how good your user onboarding is, showing you the immediate support load it affects.

### calculate_support_burden
Use this to determine the normalized support intensity for any new AI feature.

### evaluate_documentation_roi
Determine if the money spent on documentation actually generates a positive financial return.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the support burden for feature 'AI-Chat-01' with 50 tickets and 5000 users at a complexity of 1.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The normalized ticket volume is 10 tickets per 1000 users, and the total burden score is 15.0.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total support cost for 100 tickets if each takes 2 hours to resolve at a rate of $50/hour with a complexity of 1.2?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total support cost allocated to this feature is $12,000.00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Evaluate the ROI for documentation that cost $500 and saved $2000 in support costs.
```

**Response:** 
```
The documentation ROI is 400.0%, and the investment is profitable.
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate support burden
The AI determines the normalized support intensity for a feature, giving you a single risk score.

### Estimate support costs
It calculates the total financial cost attributed to supporting a specific AI feature.

### Measure documentation ROI
The AI determines if the investment in documentation yields a positive financial return.

### Assess onboarding risk
It measures how the quality of user onboarding influences the immediate support load.

## Use Cases

### Pre-launch Feature Assessment
You're about to launch a complex AI chat feature. Use this MCP to calculate the support burden and estimate the required support staff hours.

### Justifying Documentation Spend
Your team wants to write a new knowledge base section. Use the ROI tool to prove that the investment will save money in support costs.

### Optimizing Onboarding Flow
You notice support tickets spike right after launch. Run an analysis to see if improving the user onboarding flow can reduce that immediate load.

### Comparing Feature Viability
You have two potential AI features. Use the cost and burden tools to compare which one is operationally cheaper and less risky to deploy.

## Benefits

- Provides normalized support intensity scores, allowing you to compare the operational load of different features.
- Calculates the total financial cost of support, helping you justify budget requests for new AI capabilities.
- Determines if documentation spending is profitable, ensuring your knowledge base is a true asset.
- Assesses rollout risk by modeling how user onboarding quality affects the support team.

## How It Works

Connect your preferred AI client to Vinkius. You select the specific tool needed—like calculating support burden or cost—and provide the necessary parameters.

1. Connect your AI client (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to the Vinkius catalog.
2. Select the AI Feature Support Impact Analyzer MCP.
3. Call a specific tool, providing data like ticket count, complexity, or cost.
4. Receive hard numbers, like total cost or normalized burden scores, to guide your product roadmap.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does this MCP just give me an estimate, or are the numbers accurate?**
The MCP uses defined metrics to provide quantified operational impact. It calculates normalized support burden and financial costs based on the parameters you provide, giving you a data-driven score.

**What kind of data do I need to run the cost analysis?**
To calculate support costs, you generally need metrics like the number of tickets, the average time to resolve a ticket, and the associated complexity rate.

**Can I use this for non-AI features?**
While designed for AI features, the tools quantify operational impact based on support metrics. You can use it to model the support load for any new feature rollout.

**Is this a calculator or a full analytics platform?**
It's an MCP that exposes specific tools. You use it to run targeted analyses—like evaluating documentation ROI or analyzing onboarding impact—rather than providing a dashboard view.
