Security Scan

Instruction-only ROI calculator that is internally consistent with its stated purpose; it contains marketing/call-to-action links but requests no credentials or installs.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description (AI-as-a-Service ROI Calculator) matches the content: the SKILL.md provides inputs, formulas, industry benchmarks, and an output template for ROI analysis. No unexpected binaries, env vars, or install steps are required.

Instruction Scope

The runtime instructions stay within the calculation and reporting scope, but they include explicit promotional content and two external links (Calendly booking and a Stripe purchase URL) in the output template. That makes the skill both an analyst and a marketing touchpoint — expected for a vendor-facing calculator, but the user should expect the agent to present or promote those links when used.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files (instruction-only). This has a minimal on-system footprint and does not write or execute downloaded artifacts.

Credentials

The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The instructions do not request any secrets or access to system files.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill does not request persistent privileges or modify other skills or system settings. It is user-invocable and can be called by the agent per normal platform behavior.

Assessment

This is an instruction-only ROI calculator and is internally coherent — it asks for business inputs, applies benchmarks and pricing, and formats an ROI report. Before using: (1) Do not paste sensitive secrets (API keys, passwords) into inputs — only provide business metrics (headcount, revenue) you are comfortable sharing. (2) Treat the industry benchmarks and pricing as vendor-provided assumptions; validate with your own data if you need an audit-quality analysis. (3) Be aware the output template includes promotional links (Calendly and Stripe) — the agent will likely present those as a next step. (4) If you want a purely neutral calculator, remove or edit the call-to-action lines in the SKILL.md. Overall risk is low because it neither installs code nor requests credentials, but review the assumptions and marketing content before trusting results.

Calculate whether managed AI agents are worth the investment for your business.

When to Use

• Evaluating AI agent deployment for a company
• Building a business case for AI automation
• Comparing in-house vs managed AI agent costs

How to Use

When asked to calculate AI agent ROI, gather these inputs:

Required Inputs

1. Industry (legal, healthcare, fintech, construction, real estate, recruitment, manufacturing, saas, ecommerce, professional-services)
2. Number of employees
3. Annual revenue (USD)
4. Key pain points (data entry, customer support, scheduling, compliance, reporting, invoicing, lead gen, document processing)

Calculation Framework

Cost of Manual Operations

Hours per task per week × Hourly labor cost × 52 weeks = Annual manual cost

Industry benchmarks for automatable hours per employee per week:

• Legal: 12h (document review, research, billing)
• Healthcare: 10h (scheduling, records, billing)
• Fintech: 14h (compliance, reporting, reconciliation)
• Construction: 8h (scheduling, safety docs, invoicing)
• Real Estate: 11h (listings, follow-ups, paperwork)
• Recruitment: 15h (sourcing, screening, scheduling)
• Manufacturing: 9h (inventory, quality, scheduling)
• SaaS: 13h (support tickets, onboarding, reporting)
• Ecommerce: 12h (inventory, support, marketing)
• Professional Services: 10h (billing, scheduling, reporting)

AI Agent Cost

Single agent: $1,500/month ($18,000/year)
Full swarm (5+ agents): $5,000/month ($60,000/year)
Intro offer: $750/month first month

Efficiency Assumptions (conservative)

• AI agents automate 60-80% of identified tasks
• Ramp-up: 2 weeks to full productivity
• Error reduction: 40-60% fewer manual errors
• Availability: 24/7 vs 8h/day human (3x coverage)
