## Description

This MCP server provides a decision-support engine to evaluate the economic impact of fine-tuning AI models. It helps businesses determine if the performance gains from specialized training justify the upfront and long-term costs. Use `calculate_investment_roi` to determine project viability, `analyze_performance_gain` to quantify economic weight, `estimate_lifecycle_costs` for long-term projections, and `compare_model_versions` to evaluate upgrades.

## Tools

### analyze_performance_gain
Quantifies the raw performance delta and its economic weight

### calculate_investment_roi
Determines if the fine-tuning project provides a positive financial return

### compare_model_versions
Evaluates the impact of upgrading to a new model version or updating a fine-tuned model

### estimate_lifecycle_costs
Projects the long-term financial commitment required to keep the model operational

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I fine-tune my model if it costs $5,000, has a 5% expected improvement, a base performance of 80, and each performance unit is worth $200, with $500 annual maintenance?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total value generated is $800, while the total cost is $5,500. The project is not financially viable as the net ROI is negative.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the economic gain of a 10% improvement on a model with 70 base performance where each unit is worth $500?
```

**Response:** 
```
The absolute improvement is 7 units, resulting in a total economic gain of $3,500.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the total cost for a model with $200 annual maintenance, a 3-year lifespan, and 2 updates per year at $100 each.
```

**Response:** 
```
The annual cost is $400, and the total lifecycle cost over 3 years is $1,200.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if fine-tuning is worth the cost?**
You can use the `calculate_investment_roi` tool to compare the total value generated by performance improvements against the combined upfront fine-tuning cost and maintenance overhead.

**Does this account for long-term maintenance?**
Yes, the `estimate_lifecycle_costs` tool allows you to project the total cost of keeping a model operational over its entire lifespan, including periodic retraining.

**Can I compare different model versions?**
Yes, the `compare_model_versions` tool evaluates the net benefit of upgrading to a new version by weighing the improvement value against the cost delta.
