FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the ROI calculator determine the 'Added revenue from higher win rate'?

It takes your average contract value (ACV), multiplies it by the expected lift in your rate (from your current rate to the projected 50% with AutoRFP.ai), and multiplies that by your number of projects per year.

What existing tools should I include in the 'Current Tool Investment' field?

You should input the annual cost of any legacy or current RFP response software you are using, such as Loopio or Responsive, to accurately compare the total cost of your current state versus switching to AutoRFP.ai.

How is the 'Payback period' calculated in the ROI report?

The payback period is calculated by dividing the total investment (AutoRFP.ai subscription plus implementation costs) by the net annual benefit (labor cost saved plus added revenue).

What benchmarks does the calculator use to estimate AutoRFP.ai's performance?

The calculator relies on average-case estimates derived from typical customer outcomes, specifically a ~64% reduction in response time and a ~10-point win-rate lift.

Can I get a detailed report based on my specific inputs?

Yes, after adjusting the inputs to match your workflow, you can generate a tailored ROI report that is emailed to you instantly to help build your business case.

Ready to make the business case real?

Every draft carries a Trust Score for its sources and a Feedback Score for how fully it answers. Quality is measured by how little your team changes, and every approval records it. In a recent RFP, Red Rover had 95% of responses automated (83 out of 87 requirements). Measure it on your own RFPs in a two-week proof of concept.
