Methodology
The sample uses the existing ROI endpoint with 8,000 homes, 60 manual hours per month, GBP 75 as an internal hourly planning rate, GBP 900 as a consultant day-rate input, and 8 evidence packs per year.
The visible comparison amount is the sample cost of the current evidence process represented by those inputs. It is not a promised saving, avoided spend, or guaranteed ROI.
The JSON endpoint for the same sample is /growth/roi-calculator?homes=8000&manual_hours_per_month=60 .
Sector cost context
Mobysoft reports that, once legal costs, remedial work, inspections, and decanting are factored in, average spend per home can climb to GBP 8,682 in its damp and mould determination sample. Treat that as dated sector context, not as an EvidenceTrail savings assumption or a predicted outcome for your organisation.
Limitations
This tool does not guarantee savings, legal compliance, regulator acceptance, Ombudsman findings, or litigation outcomes. Buyers should replace the sample inputs with their own portfolio, staffing, procurement, and policy assumptions.
