ROI Calculation Methodology
Methodology Overview
This ROI calculator estimates the financial impact of implementing TruContext's agentic AI-powered cybersecurity platform by analyzing three primary value drivers: investigation cost savings, breach prevention value, and Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) improvement value. The calculations are based on industry-standard metrics, documented customer results, and peer-reviewed cybersecurity research.
The model uses a conservative approach, focusing on quantifiable, measurable outcomes rather than intangible benefits. All improvement percentages are derived from actual TruContext customer deployments and validated against industry benchmarks.
Calculation Formulas
1. Investigation Cost Savings
New Annual Cost = (Reduced Incidents × Reduced Hours × Hourly Rate) × 12
Savings = Current Annual Cost - New Annual Cost
Where: Reduced Incidents = Incidents × (1 - False Positive Reduction Rate) and Reduced Hours = Hours × (1 - Investigation Time Reduction Rate)
2. Breach Prevention Value
This formula calculates the expected value of prevented breaches based on the probability that TruContext's early detection and automated response capabilities will stop attacks before they result in a full breach.
3. MTTD Improvement Value
MTTD Savings = Average Breach Cost × 0.15
Research shows that faster detection reduces breach costs by approximately 15% due to limited attacker dwell time and reduced data exfiltration.
4. Total Annual Savings
Key Assumptions
TruContext Performance Metrics (Based on Customer Data)
- False Positive Reduction: 90% - Validated across 12+ enterprise deployments
- Investigation Time Reduction: 60% - Measured through automated workflow analysis
- MTTD Reduction: 75% - Average improvement from baseline SIEM platforms
- Breach Prevention Rate: 40% - Conservative estimate based on early threat detection capabilities
Labor Cost Assumptions
- Fully Loaded Hourly Rate: Includes base salary, benefits, overhead, and training costs
- Default Rate ($75/hour): Based on Bureau of Labor Statistics median for Information Security Analysts (2024)
- Productivity Factor: Assumes analysts spend 100% of investigation time on value-added activities (conservative)
Breach Cost Assumptions
- Default Breach Cost ($4.5M): IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024 global average
- Breach Frequency: Model assumes average enterprise experiences 1 significant breach per year
- MTTD Impact Factor (15%): Based on Ponemon Institute research correlating detection speed to breach costs

Constraints & Considerations
Variability Factors
Actual results will vary based on your organization's security maturity, existing infrastructure, threat landscape, industry vertical, and implementation approach. Organizations with higher baseline false positive rates or longer MTTD will typically see greater improvements.
Excluded Benefits
This calculator focuses on quantifiable cost savings and does not include additional benefits such as improved analyst morale, reduced turnover, enhanced compliance posture, competitive advantages from faster threat response, or reputational protection. These factors can add significant additional value.
Implementation Considerations
The projected savings assume successful implementation and adoption. Organizations should factor in implementation costs, training time, and a ramp-up period (typically 30-90 days) before realizing full benefits. Most customers achieve 70-80% of projected benefits within the first year.
Conservative Approach
All improvement percentages represent conservative estimates. Many customers report higher performance gains, particularly in environments with mature threat intelligence programs or complex multi-cloud architectures. We recommend conducting a proof-of-concept to measure actual performance in your specific environment.
Disclaimer: These projections are estimates based on documented customer results and industry research. Actual results may vary based on your specific environment, security maturity, threat landscape, and implementation approach.
