Strategic Velocity Score (SVS) Methodology: Prioritizing Holistic Value

The SVS framework is designed to prioritize use cases based on their strategic alignment, innovation, and measurable financial return. The core evaluation centers around a Feasibility Gate followed by a Weighted Scoring System.

The Feasibility Gate (Filtering for Achievability)

All use cases must first pass this gate, focusing on ROI / Feasibility to ensure viability:

  • Positive Financial Return: The estimated ROI Ratio (Benefit/Cost) must be at least 1.5:1$ (a profitable venture).
  • Technical & Resource Viability: Necessary technology, skills, and resources must be available or acquirable within a defined short-term period.
  • Compliance & Ethics: The initiative must meet all regulatory and ethical requirements.

Weighted Scoring System (The SVS Formula)

Projects passing the gate are ranked using a score out of 100 points, with a strong emphasis on the breadth of economic impact and market resonance.

Dimension Corresponds to Focus Point Weight Scoring Focus

  • Impact on Business Economics Impact on Business Economics 40% Measures the quantifiable effect on profit, cost structure, capital efficiency, and revenue generation.
  • Alignment with Market Dynamics Alignment with Market Dynamics 30% Measures how well the solution captures a growing market need or strategic trend.
  • Disruptive Potential Disruptive Potential 20% Measures the long-term defensibility, uniqueness, and transformational nature of the innovation.
  • Time-to-ROI ROI / Feasibility 10% Measures the speed at which the financial return is realized.

 

Key Scoring Changes for Dimension 1

The change to Impact on Business Economics means scoring now considers a wider range of financial metrics, including:

  • Revenue Generation: Net new sales or expansion opportunities.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduction in operating expenses (OpEx) or capital expenditure (CapEx).
  • Asset Utilization: Improvement in asset turnover, inventory management, or working capital (e.g., lower days sales outstanding).
  • Profitability: Improvement in gross or operating margins.

A project scoring highest will demonstrate significant benefit across multiple economic levers, not just top-line revenue.

Prioritization and Next Steps

The final SVS Score determines the project’s priority:

  • Tier 1 (High Velocity): Top-scoring projects (e.g., at least 80) receive immediate funding and resources.
  • Tier 2 (Strategic Roadmap): Mid-scoring projects are sequenced for implementation based on resource capacity.

This methodology ensures that our projects deliver maximum value across the entire financial ecosystem of the business.
