I hear from a lot of folks that they want a magic calculator that would do all the financial calculations and answer the question, "What's the dollar value?"
Well, here it is, Stimator. Unfortunately, it doesn't really explain very well how the algorithms and scales are computed. And looks like my blog isn't quite a lucrative as Dave Winer's blog.
My point? If you are attempting to translate benefits into dollar amounts, particularly intangible benefits - make sure you have a credible formula that you can explain to your executive director in under 5 minutes and that is credible.
