Product ROI Discovery & Value Quantification Survey
Captures the hard numbers behind the value customers get from your product — time saved, costs reduced, revenue gained — so you can build a credible ROI calculator or case study. An AI follow-up interview reconstructs exactly how a customer arrived at their biggest reported gain, turning a vague estimate into a defensible number.

Why this template
What this template is built to do — we found no directly comparable template from other survey tools to review.
What sets it apart
- Pairs quantitative numeric and matrix questions on time saved, costs reduced, and revenue gained with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs exactly how the respondent arrived at their biggest reported gain, turning a vague estimate into a defensible number
- Includes a confidence rating on the respondent's own estimates plus a constant-sum allocation question, giving you both the raw ROI figures and a sense of how much weight to put on them
- Captures time-to-value (how long until a measurable return appeared) and renewal/expansion likelihood alongside role and company size, so ROI numbers can be segmented and validated by who is answering
- Transparent, published prompts mean you can see exactly what the AI follow-up interview asked and why, so the reconstructed ROI story is auditable rather than a black box
