Site Intelligence — Business Opportunity Calculator

A tool for planning consultants that provides quick site intelligence at the earliest stage of a job, helping teams respond more confidently in client calls, test feasibility faster, prepare better-scoped proposals, and provide fuller advice when needed. This improves service to clients and reduces the need for further research and calls.

It supports both single-site assessment and site comparison, enabling consultants to identify key planning risks, constraints and opportunities with less time spent on research and greater consistency.

BENEFITS
Better early advice - Faster response times - Less time spent on research - More consistent feasibility review - Better scoped proposals - Lower early-stage risk - Stronger client confidence - Useful for site comparisons

WHERE SITE INTEL ADDS VALUE
1. Live call intelligence — quick site insights to have more informed and better client calls
2. Internal feasibility — test key risks, constraints and opportunities to proceed
3. Proposal preparation — scope the job with the right information
4. Client feasibility — provide fuller advice to client and/or compare sites

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter your typical monthly site workload.
  2. Define current vs Spero-enabled effort for live feasibility and formal analysis.
  3. Adjust commercial assumptions including staff rate and optional implementation costs.
  4. Review time savings, annual value, and 3-year outcomes.
This calculator reflects your own operating model rather than generic benchmarks, making it suitable for business case discussion, client demonstration, and internal commercial planning.

Site Intelligence Business Opportunity Model

Model Overview
Model the impact of using Site Intelligence across three workflow stages — live client conversations, internal proposal preparation, and full site analysis delivery. Each stage calculates independently, shows its own ROI, and the consolidated summary below reflects only the sections completed.

This model assumes Site Intelligence reduces early research effort, accelerates report preparation, and shortens review cycles before client delivery. Stage 2 and Stage 3 specifically account for AI-assisted report pre-build, planner review, and senior check / sign-off.

Commercial note: better initial site intelligence also improves proposal scoping and pricing accuracy. That benefit is acknowledged here as a strategic uplift, but it is not separately monetised in the ROI figures below.
Global Inputs

Use this stage to model quick, live feasibility guidance during general calls or meetings where an address is discussed and preliminary site constraints or opportunities can be surfaced immediately.

Calculation: (Time per Call in Minutes ÷ 60) × Client Interactions × Time Reduction % × Average Hourly Rate
2Internal Site Analysis — Brief / Proposal Prep
— Y1 $0 3Y $0 →

Use this stage where Site Intelligence prepares the first cut of a proposal or internal advice pack. The value comes from automating initial report preparation and reducing both planner drafting time and senior checking time.

3Site Analysis — Full Report Delivery
— Y1 $0 3Y $0 →

Use this stage for full site analysis reports delivered to clients. This assumes Site Intelligence assembles a substantial first draft to template, leaving the planner and senior reviewer to focus on verification, refinement, and final sign-off.

Strategic Impact
Faster client response Improved scoping confidence Reduced report preparation effort Senior review becomes lighter Stronger client confidence
What the model is showing: Siet Intel value comes from reducing low-value assembly work, preparing reports closer to first draft, and shifting planners and senior reviewers toward validation and judgement rather than rebuilding analysis from scratch. Indicative outputs only.

Important note: This calculator is intended to support structured discussion and business case development, not to replace formal financial assessment.

What This Changes

The Site Intelligence Suite is not just a research aid. It changes how early-stage planning advice is assembled, discussed, and progressed.
Operational Shift
TraditionalWith Site Intelligence
Not enough information at hand when client callsThe information you need, easily accessible
Manual site gathering across multiple toolsAddress-driven consolidated site view
Ad hoc notes and fragmented screenshotsStructured, repeatable feasibility outputs
Delayed follow-up after meetingsUseful feedback during live discussion
High setup effort for formal site analysisShorter path to client-ready material
Strategic Value

Less time gathering information, more time giving advice
It reduces the time spent pulling together basic site information, so planners and consultants can focus more on analysis, judgement and advice.

Better starting point for later work
It organises information in a way that can be used more easily in later stages, such as workflow steps, drafting engagement letters, proposals and reporting.

Helps you work faster and grow more easily
It can support quicker turnaround times, give clients more confidence, and make it easier to handle the work.

Flags poor opportunities earlier
It helps identify weak or risky sites sooner, before too much time is spent on detailed assessment or proposal work.
