What does this business case include?

A consolidated annual estimate of people-cost exposure (preventable turnover, disengagement drag) plus the visible spend on current tools, presented in conservative and likely columns with a three-year phase-in. Every assumption is shown with its source.

Where Compono fits

A business case is only as strong as the person defending it. This builder gives you the defensible version: market base rates, sourced assumptions, conservative maths, and your own figures throughout. Compono's platform is built on the same principle, decades of psychometric research turned into decisions you can defend. Compono holds 4.8 out of 5 on Capterra and is used by government departments and mid-market employers across ANZ.

How it's calculated

The model combines three published benchmarks, applied conservatively: preventable turnover (a share of departures at 1.5 times salary replacement cost), disengagement drag (a conservative share of salary for the disengaged portion of the workforce, per Gallup), and the money already spent each year on hiring tools and assessments. Every rate is shown with its source, and the conservative and likely columns bracket the estimate honestly. Benefits phase in over three years, which is what makes the numbers believable.

Common questions

Where do the benchmark rates come from?

Published research: Gallup for engagement economics, widely used replacement-cost multipliers for turnover, and preventable-turnover shares from retention research. Each default is editable, so the case runs on your judgement, not ours.

Can I use this with my CFO?

That is what it is for. The conservative column exists so the case survives scrutiny. Print or save the generated document and adapt it to your own template.
