## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of tools to quantify the economic impact of documentation. It allows users to calculate the total Return on Investment (ROI) by analyzing onboarding efficiency, support deflection, and knowledge transfer value. You can use `get_roi_summary` to see the net profit and freshness-adjusted returns, `get_maintenance_projections` to estimate long-term upkeep costs, `identify_priority_areas` to find where to focus future efforts, and `validate_investment_viability` to determine if a project is profitable.

## Tools

### validate_investment_viability
Determines if the documentation project is currently profitable

### get_maintenance_projections
Estimates the ongoing costs required to keep documentation useful over time

### get_roi_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the total financial return on documentation efforts

### identify_priority_areas
Analyzes which documentation category or metric provides the highest relative value

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the ROI for a project that cost $5,000 to create, saved 100 hours of onboarding at $50/hr, avoided 20 support tickets at $100 each, and has a knowledge transfer value of $2,000 with a freshness factor of 0.9.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total investment is $5,000. The total savings are $9,000 ($5,000 from onboarding, $2,000 from support, and $2,000 from knowledge transfer). With a freshness factor of 0.9, the adjusted profit is $3,100, resulting in a 62% ROI.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a documentation project with $10,000 investment and $8,000 savings profitable?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the project is currently in the red as the total savings do not exceed the total investment.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the maintenance costs for a project that took 50 hours to create, with a 10% annual maintenance rate and an hourly rate of $60?
```

**Response:** 
```
The annual maintenance cost is $300, and the five-year cumulative cost is $1,500.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the ROI calculated?**
The ROI is calculated by subtracting the total investment (hours spent multiplied by hourly rate) from the total savings (onboarding, support, and knowledge transfer) and dividing by the investment.

**What is the freshness factor?**
The freshness factor is a decimal between 0 and 1 that scales the total savings to reflect how current and accurate the documentation remains.

**Can I project future maintenance costs?**
Yes, you can use the `get_maintenance_projections` tool to estimate both annual and five-year cumulative maintenance costs.
