ai-roi-business-case from deciqai/knowledge-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

"Activate when: user says 'is this AI project worth doing?', 'calculate the ROI of AI', 'how long until this agent pays back?', 'build the AI business case for my boss/investors', 'what does this AI tool really cost us?', or is about to pay for an AI tool/agent or replace a manual workflow with one.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AI ROI Business Case ## Overview AI business cases are usually inflated the same three ways: they count only "hours saved," they omit the costs that arrive after the subscription (inference, integration, human review, change management), and they assume full adoption on day one. The result is an ROI that looks decisive on the slide and never shows up in the P&L — and, with no pre-agreed kill line, sunk cost carries the project forward. The core mechanism: **measure the baseline → count only value levers that can be realized → cost everything → discount by the adoption ramp → compute payback → run sensitivity → write the kill line before you start.** ROI = (realizable value − full cost) ÷ full cost, with value always measured against how the work is done *today*. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework asks for the same thing in its MAP function: document the potential benefits (MAP 3.1) *and* the potential costs, "including non-monetary costs" (MAP 3.2), before deployment. This skill turns that into a one-page table. …

How to install
mdr add deciqai/knowledge-skills/ai-roi-business-case@sha256:6ae5fb853c4b9b60The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.cb4e537, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
