Risk-adjusted ROI is a crucial metric that helps businesses make more informed investment decisions by incorporating risk factors into return calculations.

The calculation process involves:

  • Identifying key risk factors (market, execution, operational)
  • Assigning risk weights based on probability and impact
  • Adjusting expected returns based on risk assessment
  • Comparing opportunities on an equal risk-basis

The Growth Opportunity Prioritizer calculates risk-adjusted ROI by:

  • Analyzing multiple risk dimensions
  • Applying risk multipliers to base ROI
  • Generating visual comparisons of risk-return profiles
  • Providing scenario analysis for different risk levels

This approach helps prevent overestimation of returns and enables more realistic opportunity assessment.
