❓ FAQ: Brutally Honest Answers

🧠 Q: How accurate is the ROI calculation?
A: Strategic-level estimate using real studies (13% boost, 23% retention). Not forensic—but far better than flying blind.

📉 Q: What if my ROI is low or negative?
A: Then your art program strategy is weak. Either your budget is bloated, misdirected, or too thin. Refactor. Don’t abandon.

🏗️ Q: Can this replace a full HR analysis?

A: Because they ignore culture. This tool ties space, vibe, and experience to performance and retention outcomes.

🧪 Q: How can I use this for A/B testing?
A: Try different headcounts, budgets, and turnover assumptions. Find out what really moves the needle before you scale.

🚀 Final Word
