## Outcome Categories

| Category | Description | Example Metrics |
|----------|-------------|-----------------|
| Revenue | Direct revenue impact | Revenue growth, new customers, deal size |
| Efficiency | Time and cost savings | Hours saved, cost reduction, automation rate |
| Risk | Risk mitigation | Compliance rate, error reduction, security |

## ROI Calculation Framework

### Value Quantification

| Value Type | Calculation | Example |
|------------|-------------|---------|
| Hard Savings | Direct cost eliminated | $50K/year headcount |
| Soft Savings | Efficiency gained × rate | 10 hrs/week × $50/hr |
| Revenue Impact | Attributed revenue increase | 15% deal size increase |
| Risk Avoidance | Probability × impact | 10% × $1M potential loss |
| Opportunity Cost | Time saved × alternative value | 20 hrs × strategic work |

### ROI Formula
```
ROI = (Total Value Delivered - Total Cost) / Total Cost × 100%
```

## Execution Flow

1. **Retrieve Goals**: Get documented objectives
   ```
   crm.get_goals({
     accountId: "acc_123",
     includeBaselines: true,
     includeTargets: true
   })
   ```

2. **Gather Outcome Metrics**: Collect performance data
   ```
   analytics.get_metrics({
     accountId: "acc_123",
     metrics: ["time_saved", "tasks_automated", "revenue_attributed"],
     period: "quarterly"
   })
   ```

3. **Get Account Context**: Contract and investment info
   ```
   crm.get_account({
     accountId: "acc_123",
     includeContract: true,
     includeInvestment: true
   })
   ```

4. **Query Usage Events**: Activity that drives outcomes
   ```
   analytics.query_events({
     accountId: "acc_123",
     events: ["workflow_complete", "automation_run", "report_generated"],
     period: "quarterly"
   })
   ```
