Gate-1 Incremental Cost
~$0 (existing budget)
Role Brief
CFO One-Page Decision View
Bounded, near-zero-incremental-cost pilot first; expansion dollars only after proof.
Gate 1 — The Ask
Approve a 30-day, one-deployment SyncCentral Enhance pilot
Overlay AI Field Mapping + Sync Error AI Assist (BETA) onto ONE existing live SyncCentral/NetSuite deployment. Internal, uses existing budget, no rebuild, no client disruption.
Gate-1 Duration
30 days
Gate-1 Scope
1 live deployment
What You Should Validate (Gate 1)
- Cash exposure is bounded to existing budget — no net-new spend before proof.
- The four pilot metrics are defined and reported at day-30: mapping accept rate; consultant hours saved; sync-error accepted-fix rate (target ≥50%); DLP false-positive rate.
- NetSuite connector is production-STATUS (sandbox CRUD verified; production-tier credential test OPEN). AI mapping accuracy (95.1%/96.7%) is fixture-scoped, not a population claim.
Gate 2 — Expansion (only after the four Gate-1 metrics clear)
- Funded expansion: $50K-$75K, 3-month rollout across 5-10 clients.
- 3-year ROI range in the model: 25%-157%; payback signal ~6 months in model assumptions.
- Scaling target: ~$2.3M (Y1) / $8.3M (Y3) / $35M (Y5) ARR.
- These dollars are committed only once Gate-1 proof is in hand; scenario inputs remain adjustable and transparent.
