What benefit is PP delivering?

Compare the documented decision without PP with the outcome after using PP. Record why PP influenced the change and how much of it Finance considers attributable to PP.

Fictional amounts and evidence, not results from any real venue. Changes here stay in this demo session.

Decision cohort: 2026-10-01 to 2026-12-23. Outcomes can be confirmed later.

Confirmed financial benefit

R 3 000,00

Finance-reviewed outcomes, current event Actuals and the approved PP share.

Estimated, not yet confirmed

R 3 000,00

Potential benefit from locked quotes; excluded from confirmed totals.

Confirmed staff time saved

1.50 hours

Measured hours after applying PP’s share. No assumed Rand value.

Net after reviewed pilot costs

R 1 800,00

Confirmed financial benefit less the total evidenced cost of this pilot.

How to read these figures

PP benefit = (outcome operating profit after displacement − original operating profit after displacement) × PP’s reviewed share. All amounts exclude VAT. Compare the same event scope and cost basis, including event overhead costs. The baseline needs contemporaneous evidence of the original proposal; a declared timestamp alone is insufficient. This is a documented management assessment of PP’s influence, not proof that PP alone caused the improvement.

R 7 000,00 modelled loss exposure avoided is shown separately. Declining a quote does not establish realised profit. 0.00 estimated hours are still unconfirmed. 0 result(s) need fresh review after source changes. 0 result(s) were recorded as not realised.

ROI: 150.0% on confirmed financial benefit and reviewed pilot costs. Future repeat bookings, funding gaps and cash balances are not credited as realised profit.

Worked conference example

The original quote would have earned R10,000. PP helped the team revise it to an expected R17,000. The event actually earned R16,000. Finance attributes 50% of the R6,000 improvement to PP. The conference’s current confirmed benefit is R 3 000,00. The reviewed pilot costs and net benefit are shown above.

A further R3,000 package improvement is still estimated. The declined booking’s R7,000 loss exposure is not added to confirmed profit. The 1.5 hours saved are shown separately. Choose a record below to inspect or change the PP share and see the calculation update.

Benefit records

One combined record per quote prevents counting the same price, margin and displacement improvement across several decisions or quote versions. Each review creates a new version. The list includes all records; totals use the approved pilot decision dates.

CONF-101 · Better pricing

Confirmed · PP share 50%

Original R 10 000,00 · expected R 17 000,00 · observed R 16 000,00

Confirmed PP benefit R 3 000,00

Finance assigns 50% to PP: PP highlighted the margin problem; sales negotiation and customer demand explain the remainder.

Record or review a benefit

Sales and management can record estimates. Finance confirms comparable outcomes. Financial confirmation requires a delivered, accepted booking and current event Actuals. The original baseline is locked once recorded.
