ROICE Formula
ROICE = Return on Innovation, Convenience, and Efficiency
Formula:
ROICE = (Innovation + Convenience + Efficiency) ÷ 15 × 100
Why divide by 15?
- Innovation is rated from 1–5
- Convenience is rated from 1–5
- Efficiency is rated from 1–5
- Maximum score = 15
✅ Example:
If a business scores:
- Innovation = 5
- Convenience = 4
- Efficiency = 4
ROICE = (5 + 4 + 4) ÷ 15 × 100 = 86.7%
This creates a simple, transparent, and normalized scoring model, perfect for:
- Comparing business models
- Creating visual scoreboards
- Ranking case studies by strategic viability
