What it does
The most basic and most powerful question about any investment is: how long until the money comes back? If payback is two months, it's almost risk-free. If it's five years, you need a lot of confidence. This prompt calculates the payback time for your investment based on real cash flow, recurring costs, and outcome scenarios, showing exactly when the investment pays for itself and how much profit it generates after that point. Use it when you need to quickly decide whether an investment is worth it, when you want to compare projects by timing risk, or when leadership asks 'when does this start paying off?'.
