Interactive ROI calculator for sales conversations

Starting promptUse this prompt as a starting point to build your workflow.

Build an interactive ROI calculator as a single-page web app, aimed at public-sector sales conversations. The goal is to let a prospect adjust a few inputs and instantly see the projected cost savings from automating their support/security operations, with the methodology shown transparently so the numbers feel credible. Trigger it via a single public HTTP route (e.g. /roi-calculator) that serves the page directly — no cron, upstream, or email trigger, and no backend data fetch. The page should let visitors adjust inputs like ticket/alert volume, average handle time, percentage of work automated, team size, and analyst hourly cost — using sliders that also accept typed values. As they change inputs, animate the projected hard savings (labor/time) and soft savings, and update the results in real time. Include selectable presets for common buyer profiles (federal agency, state agency, city/county, higher education, major metro), an animated hero diagram illustrating the alerts → orchestration → automated actions → savings flow, benchmark/context cards, and an expandable methodology section explaining how each number is derived. Design it as a polished, branded, production-grade marketing page with a distinctive visual identity. Keep it self-contained: all calculations run client-side, so no connectors or external APIs are required. If you later want to capture leads or share results, you could post submissions to a CRM or your team's chat tool — but that's optional and not part of the core build. Tools used: 3B React step (single public route, client-side only), recharts, lucide-react, shadcn/ui components — no external APIs or connectors

What this prompt builds

An interactive, single-page ROI calculator designed for public-sector sales conversations. Prospects adjust inputs like ticket volume, handle time, and automation percentage to see projected cost savings in real time, with transparent methodology and visual diagrams. All calculations run client-side with no external dependencies, making it a self-contained tool for demos and sales enablement.

The problem

Sales teams in the public sector struggle to quantify and communicate the financial impact of automation investments during prospect conversations. Without an interactive, credible tool, it's hard to prove ROI on the spot or help buyers justify budget allocation. This workflow delivers a polished, single-page ROI calculator that lets prospects adjust inputs like ticket volume, handle time, automation percentage, and team cost in real time, instantly visualizing projected hard and soft savings with transparent methodology. Presets for federal agencies, state and local governments, higher education, and metro buyers make it immediately relevant, while animated diagrams and benchmark context build trust and credibility.

Solution and impact

Sales and RevOps teams gain a production-ready, interactive tool that turns abstract automation benefits into concrete, defensible numbers during live conversations. Prospects see their own data reflected in real-time savings projections, complete with transparent methodology and visual storytelling that makes the case for investment credible and compelling. The self-contained, client-side design means no backend dependencies or lead-capture complexity — teams can deploy it instantly and optionally layer in CRM or Slack integrations later.
