Independent
Research

Quantifying B2B product value.

Customers know the value you provide, prospects need proof to justify their decision.

An Independent Value Analysis™ (IVA) helps you quantify the value your product creates, justify buyers' investment, and unlock your sales team.

Methodology

An Independent Value Analysis is a structured evaluation of the value a product creates for its customers. Commissioned by you, conducted independently by Zaghloul & Co., and built from firsthand customer data.

The analysis identifies product-specific value that falls under cost reduction, revenue growth, and productivity — from headcount avoided and customer retention to time to value — and categorizes it as:

- quantified value, financial outcomes modeled from measurable data; and

- evidenced value, outcomes substantiated by firsthand data.

The analysis produces risk-adjusted return on investment, net present value, and total benefits against total costs projected over a three-year period.

The final deliverable ranges from a single case study to a full composite analysis depending on the number of participating customers.
