Design → ROI Translator
100 design concepts, sourced and translated into business language
Live tool that translates any design statement into sourced, client-ready ROI language: 100 concepts, 7 categories, every metric cited.
Problem
Architects and clients describe value in different vocabularies. "Biophilic interior with living walls and natural light" means nothing measurable to an investor evaluating the same space. Without a shared translation layer, real design value gets lost in the handoff to the people approving budget.
Research
Built a verified glossary of 100 design concepts across 7 categories (spatial, material, sensory, sustainability, process, technology, community), each mapped to a specific sourced metric. Sources include CBRE, the Leesman Index (300,000+ workplace occupants across 70+ countries), Knight Frank/Savills, RICS/BCO, the WELL Building Standard, the EPA, UKGBC, and LEED documentation. Every metric carries a hover-visible citation; unverified estimates are flagged as such rather than presented with false confidence.
Solution
A live translator: paste any design statement, and it pattern-matches against the 100-term glossary to return the ROI translation, the specific sourced metric, a business-impact tag (Revenue ↑, Asset Value ↑, Risk ↓), and a ready-to-use pitch line. No AI required, runs instantly, in the room, during the actual client conversation.
