How Executives Can Measure Blockchain ROI Before Implementation

Executives can measure blockchain return on investment before implementation by treating it as a capital allocation decision, not a technology experiment. The practical answer is to establish a current-state baseline, isolate the value blockchain uniquely enables, model total cost of ownership, and test the result through NPV, payback period, and adoption scenarios. A persuasive proposal does not begin with distributed ledger technology. It begins with a costly business problem that existing systems cannot solve as effectively.
