Calculate the Full Return on an Investment

See what it's for, when to use it, and what you'll get with this prompt.

What it does

When someone proposes an investment and says it will 'pay for itself in X months,' how do you know the numbers are right? Without a rigorous return analysis, you may approve projects that never deliver or reject opportunities that are gold. This prompt calculates return on investment with all the costs (including hidden ones), realistic benefit projections, and sensitivity analysis for different scenarios. Use it when you need to evaluate large projects, when comparing alternative investments, or when leadership demands detailed financial analysis before approving.
