THE INVISIBLE COST OF A UNIVERSITY WEBSITE
Put a number on that invisible cost.
The business case template, ready for you to fill in with your institution's numbers.
A parametrised eight-sheet Excel. Fill in your assumptions, choose a scenario, and the rest calculates itself: the TCO comparison, the cost of not deciding, and the summary that goes to committee.
- Five-year TCO, compared. What it costs to keep the current situation versus what it costs with Griddo, nominal and NPV.
- The cost of doing nothing. AI and search visibility, time-to-market, team turnover and compliance — what you lose by leaving it for next year.
- Three sensitivity scenarios. Conservative, base and aggressive on the three levers a committee debates most.
- Sources, on their own sheet. Where every reference value comes from, so nobody has to take a number on faith.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps. The sheet does the rest.
Built so you can open it today and bring it to a meeting this week.
1. Fill in the assumptions
Only the blue cells need touching. Everything else is formulas: black if calculated on the same sheet, green if it comes from another.
2. Choose a scenario
Conservative, base or aggressive. The rule the book itself gives you: if the case only works under the aggressive scenario, there isn't a case yet.
3. Bring the summary
NPV savings, the cost of every quarter of delay, and the payback period. The numbers a committee asks for, without having to build them yourself.
