ROI Calculator: MCP for Med-Chem Teams
An honest calculation. No marketing multipliers. Three example scenarios you can adapt one-to-one for your team.
The Formula
ROI per month = (hours saved × internal hourly rate) − subscription cost.
Hours saved come from concrete workflow times: ICH M7 triage 4h/batch → 90s, ICH Q1 stability 8h/study → 30min, impurity profiling 2 days/source → 30 min, forced-degradation analysis 1 day → 1h. Fully loaded hourly rate including overhead and benefits typically ranges €80 (junior postdoc) to €150 (senior med-chem lead).
Scenario 1: Solo Researcher
| Hours saved / month | 5h (1 ICH M7 batch + 2 druglikeness reviews) |
| Internal hourly rate | €100/h |
| Saved / month | €500 |
| CovaSyn Pro | −€250 |
| Net ROI / month | +€250 (2× subscription) |
Scenario 2: Med-Chem Team of 5
| Hours saved / month | 40h (8h per member — ICH M7, ADMET, stability reviews) |
| Internal hourly rate | €100/h |
| Saved / month | €4,000 |
| CovaSyn Unlimited | −€750 |
| Net ROI / month | +€3,250 (~5× subscription) |
Scenario 3: CDMO with 30 Quote Requests / Month
| Time-to-quote reduction | 5–10 days → 1–3 days (via covams + covatox + covastab) |
| Additional quotes / month | 4–8 |
| Win rate | ~30% |
| Additional contracts / year | ~15–25 |
| Margin / contract (typical) | €80,000–€150,000 |
| CovaSyn Unlimited | −€9,000/year |
| Net ROI / year | ~€1,200,000–€3,700,000 (130–400×) |
Note: hours-saved figures from real med-chem team interviews (Q1 2026, n=12). Fully loaded hourly rate varies by region and seniority mix. Numbers are averages, not guarantees.
