* Calculations are based on your inputs and model assumptions (margin, benefit realisation). ROI is calculated on realised first-year benefit, not total potential. A lost customer is valued here at one year of profit (deliberately conservative; full lifetime value is shown by the CLV calculator). Complaint benefit here covers repeat-contact handling only — the directly realisable slice; the full cost of complaints including the silent iceberg is shown by the complaint cost calculator. Actual results depend on individual company circumstances.
