Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media provide for predicting an effectiveness of a cost saving opportunity. According to embodiments of the method, a feasibility score, a financial impact score, and a risk score are determined. An effectiveness score is determined based on the feasibility score, the financial impact score, and the risk score. The feasibility score may indicate an anticipated ease with which to implement each cost saving opportunity. The financial impact score may indicate an anticipated cost savings resulting from implementing each cost saving opportunity. The risk score may indicate an anticipated level of business risk incurred by implementing each of the plurality of cost saving opportunities. The effectiveness score, which may be represented in one or two dimensions, indicates the anticipated effectiveness of each cost saving opportunity based on the feasibility score, the financial impact score, and the risk score.
