Is this an exact ROI figure?

No. It is a directional estimate only, not a quote, financial commitment, or guaranteed saving. A packaging fit check validates application complexity, review effort, signing, testing, and deployment requirements.

What inputs do I need?

You need the number of applications, expected packaging or update volume, current cost per package, and optional effort assumptions such as hourly rate and manual hours per package.

What happens next

Use the ROI signal to decide whether to test Forge on a real packaging blocker.

Forge can capture installed Windows applications from a running system when installer media is missing or unreliable.
The same capture can support MSI, MSIX, IntuneWin, AppAttach, and related modern delivery outputs where suitable.
A fit check validates app complexity, packaging standards, signing, testing, deployment targets, and reviewer workflow before wider rollout.
