The ROI of an Automated HR Platform Health Program

Automated HRIS health programs pay for themselves three different ways: cost per finding (vs. consulting), audit fee reduction (vs. unprepared SOX), and AI activation value unlocked. Here is how to build the business case.

vs. Consulting

1. Cost per finding

Big 4: $150K for ~50 findings = $3,000 per finding. Yoetz.ai: a fraction of that, with 2–3× the finding count thanks to full-population coverage. Cost per finding is the cleanest like-for-like metric for buying committee discussions.

2. Audit fee reduction

Tenants going into SOX with auditor-ready evidence packages routinely cut external audit hours by 15–30%. On a $400K external audit, that is $60K–$120K saved annually — more than a typical Yoetz.ai annual subscription.

3. AI activation value unlocked

An Illuminate Flex Credits commitment that does not activate is pure waste. A tenant scoring below 30 on AI readiness will not generate ROI from any AI capability. A pre-rollout readiness scan that surfaces and resolves the blockers protects the entire AI investment.
