## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of financial modeling tools to measure the return on investment for knowledge management systems. Use `calculate_roi_summary` to determine net financial returns and payback periods. You can use `estimate_adoption_impact` to adjust theoretical savings based on user engagement and data freshness, or `calculate_maintenance_overhead` to project ongoing costs. Finally, `analyze_efficiency_drivers` helps identify whether search time reduction, rework reduction, or onboarding acceleration is providing the most value to your organization.

## Tools

### calculate_maintenance_overhead
Determines the ongoing costs required to sustain the knowledge base

### analyze_efficiency_drivers
Breaks down which specific area (search, rework, or onboarding) is contributing most to the organization's value

### calculate_roi_summary
Provides a high-level financial overview of the KM investment

### estimate_adoption_impact
Calculates how much of the theoretical efficiency gains are actually captured based on user engagement

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the ROI for a knowledge base that cost $50,000 to set up, saves $30,000 in search time, $20,000 in rework, and $15,000 in onboarding.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total investment is $50,000, the total gains are $65,000, resulting in a net ROI of $15,000 with a payback period of 9.2 months.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the primary driver of value if search savings are $10,000, rework savings are $5,000, and onboarding savings are $2,000?
```

**Response:** 
```
The primary driver is search savings, which contributes 58.8% of the total value.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the impact of a system with $100,000 in theoretical gains, a 70% adoption rate, and a 0.9 freshness factor.
```

**Response:** 
```
The realized gains are $63,000, and the effective adoption score is 63.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

Use the `calculate_roi_summary` tool. You will need to provide the initial setup cost, search time savings, rework savings, and onboarding savings.

**Can I account for how many employees actually use the system?**
Yes, use `estimate_adoption_impact` to adjust your theoretical gains by the adoption rate and the freshness factor of your data.

**How are maintenance costs calculated?**
The `calculate_maintenance_overhead` tool estimates annual costs based on your knowledge base size, organizational complexity, and desired freshness target.
