#### Model assumptions (conservative benchmarks)

### Interested in a validated estimate?

This model applies conservative industry benchmarks. A Tealium solutions engineer can refine every assumption against your actual environment — usually within two working sessions.

1

**Discovery call (30 min)** — Share your stack, data volumes, and top use cases with a solutions engineer.

2

**Custom ROI model** — We refine inputs with your actual conversion rates, integration costs, and team hours.

3

**Executive briefing** — Receive a board-ready business case with validated numbers and a phased implementation plan.

This estimator applies conservative industry benchmarks sourced from Forrester, Gartner, and Tealium customer data. Results are indicative only and should not be relied upon as a guarantee of return. Actual results depend on use-case maturity, implementation quality, and market conditions.
