New calculator models KM ROI by accounting for adoption and data decay

Most Knowledge Management (KM) return on investment (ROI) calculations fail by overestimating adoption rates and underestimating data decay. A new approach, the Knowledge Management ROI Calculator, uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to model friction, engagement, and entropy. This tool provides agents with four functions to calculate net financial returns, estimate adoption impact, project maintenance overhead, and analyze efficiency drivers for more realistic ROI assessments.
