Phased Realisation by Tranche
ROI is non-linearly bound — as systems onboard, value increases in alignment with upstream/downstream system relationships.[2] Each tranche represents an incremental 25% of total system coverage, stepping from 25% through to 100% at End of T4.
Metric
Tranche 1 25% coverage
Tranche 2 50% coverage
Tranche 3 75% coverage
End of T4 100% coverage

[1] Estimated productivity loss due to Environment System Instance outages and associated management overhead.
[2] Realisation: ROI is non-linearly bound to the number of systems in scope. As systems increase, ROI increases in alignment with realisation (square-root scaling).
[3] ILS = Infrastructure, Licence & Service.
[4] Assumes 2.5 tiers of components at ~$20K/server chargeback.
