Sources: all figures are deterministic calculations from your entered salaries, costs, and funding, using published assumption rates (completion, placement, productivity, retention, discount). No figure on this page is AI-generated.

Published sources for every MODELLED default

These are scenario defaults, not claims that an individual will achieve an outcome. They are included in CSV, JSON, and PDF exports.

MODELLED — All ROI, payback, and earnings figures are computed by the stated formula (salary lift × placement probability × tenure − net cost). They depend on your inputs and assumptions, not measured outcomes. Adjust any input to see how results change. Source of wage targets: your manual entry.

Scenario range — Conservative · Base · Optimistic
Same program inputs, three placement and salary-lift assumptions. The Base column matches your sliders; Conservative discounts placement and lift; Optimistic adds modest upside. We show annualized ROI alongside cumulative so the headline number stays defensible.

Methodology: Conservative = 75% of input placement × 70% of nominal salary lift + 3-month longer ramp. Optimistic = 110% of input placement (capped at 100%) × 115% lift + 1-month faster ramp. All scenarios use the same program cost and funding offsets you've entered.
Cumulative net earnings (60 months)
Includes course cost, expected employment, and annual raises.
