Scenarios
What different levels of productivity gain could deliver.
Three scenarios built around your target productivity gain, so you can see a cautious, likely, and ambitious outcome side by side. Labour efficiency is held steady here to isolate the effect of productivity.
| Scenario | Productivity gain | Extra annual profit | Potential profit | Return on fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cautious Half of your target gain | 10.0% | £111,854 | £292,100 | 0.7x |
LikelyYour target Your target productivity gain | 20.0% | £224,954 | £405,200 | 1.5x |
Ambitious Stretching beyond target | 30.0% | £338,054 | £518,300 | 2.3x |
Return on fee compares the extra annual profit with your base project fee — e.g. 2.0x means every £1 of fee is matched by £2 of added profit in the first year.
Extra annual profit across the range
How extra annual profit grows as the productivity gain increases. The dashed line marks your target scenario.
