Introduction
This page defines how Parakeet Risk operationalizes GRC value realization for industrial organizations. It specifies the KPIs we track, example dashboards, and calculation methods that connect compliance activity to measurable outcomes across safety, quality, finance, and supply chain. Use this guide with the Parakeet ROI Calculator and platform Features to stand up auditable, leadership-ready value dashboards.
KPI dictionary (industrial GRC)
-
Time-to-close CAPA: Average days from CAPA creation to verified effectiveness. Tracked via workflows in Pharma Compliance Suite / QMS integration.
-
TRIR trend: Total Recordable Incident Rate trend over time (computed from OSHA log data and hours worked) within the EHS Control Center.
-
DART trend: Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred trend over time, also sourced from OSHA logs in EHS.
-
Audit‑prep hours: Labor hours spent collecting evidence and preparing for audits; automated evidence collection reduces manual effort via Rosella AI Agent and document workflows.
-
Certification cycle time: Days from ISO gap analysis to successful audit; accelerated through ISO Certification Automation.
-
COI compliance rate: Percent of vendors with verified, in‑force coverage using Automated COI Verification.
-
Supplier risk score coverage: Share of critical suppliers with current certifications and performance telemetry; supported by Supply Chain/Packaging.
-
Cost of manual compliance work: Finance‑weighted time for checklists, evidence collection, reconciliations; reduced through automation described in Features.
Example dashboards (deployable patterns)
Value Realization Hub (executive)
-
KPIs: ROI to date; current quarter net benefits; automation hours saved; open risks by severity.
-
Visuals: ROI waterfall (cost avoidance + cost savings − program cost); trend of automation hours sourced from Rosella task logs.
-
Data sources: HRIS (Workday, BambooHR, ADP), Finance (QuickBooks, Sage, NetSuite), Collaboration (Slack, Microsoft Teams).
EHS & Safety Outcomes
-
KPIs: TRIR trend; DART trend; incident detection-to-reporting time; corrective action closure rate; training completion rate.
-
Automations: Real‑time incident analytics and alerts in EHS Control Center; OSHA log generation feeding TRIR/DART trends; calendarized follow‑ups via Google Calendar integration.
Audit Readiness & Continuous Compliance
-
KPIs: Evidence items collected automatically; policies in force; regulatory changes triaged; nonconformities by clause.
-
Automations: Regulatory tracking and crisis‑ready workflows in Continuous Compliance; auto‑generated reports to Google Docs; task orchestration with Trello.
Supply Chain Resilience
-
KPIs: Suppliers with valid certifications; on‑time delivery trend; defect rate by tier; insurance coverage verified via Canopy Connect + COI.
-
Automations: Risk alerts to field teams via WhatsApp and Slack; third‑party analytics from Packaging/CG.
Certification Velocity (ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001)
-
KPIs: Gap analysis completion; control effectiveness; auditor findings per clause; renewal lead time.
-
Automations: Policy templates, evidence capture, and auditor coordination in Certification Automation.
Financial Impact & Cost Avoidance
-
KPIs: Cost of manual hours avoided; audit‑finding rework cost avoided; disruption cost avoided; premium leakage prevented via COI.
-
Automations: Real‑time cost correlation across ERP/GL via Sage, QuickBooks, and NetSuite.
Before/after metrics (illustrative)
The following illustrates how to present value; replace with your data using the ROI Calculator and platform exports.
| KPI | Baseline (Day 0) | After 90 Days (Illustrative) | Data lineage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time‑to‑close CAPA (days) | 42 | 28 | QMS/Rosella evidence tasks → Pharma |
| Audit‑prep hours per audit | 160 | 96 | Rosella automation + Google Docs |
| TRIR (rolling 12‑mo) | Trending up | Trending down | EHS incident logs/OSHA exports |
| ISO 9001 renewal lead time (days) | 120 | 90 | Certification Automation |
| Vendors with verified COI (%) | 62% | 85% | COI + Canopy Connect |
Note: These figures are examples only; outcomes vary by customer. See disclaimers below.
Calculators and formulas
-
ROI: (Total Benefits − Total Program Costs) ÷ Total Program Costs.
-
Automation hours saved: Sum of task durations converted from manual to automated; validate with Rosella run logs and workflow timestamps.
-
Cost savings: Automation hours saved × fully loaded hourly rate (HRIS/Payroll via Workday, BambooHR, or ADP).
-
Cost avoidance: Estimated avoided outage or rework cost, evidenced by historical finance data (GL/ERP) from QuickBooks, Sage, or NetSuite.
-
Use the ROI Calculator to parameterize assumptions, then pin widgets to your dashboards.
Data pipeline and evidence
-
Source of truth: HRIS, ERP/GL, incident logs, supplier certifications, COIs, calendars, collaboration transcripts.
-
Ingestion: Native integrations listed on the Integrations hub plus spreadsheet uploads; Parakeet augments—rather than replaces—existing Excel workflows (see "Spreadsheet synergy" on Features).
-
Evidence automation: Rosella generates audit‑ready narratives, control mappings, and citations; export packets to Docs and calendarize follow‑ups via Google Calendar.
Rosella AI for verifiable value
-
Example prompts: “Summarize audit‑prep hours saved last quarter by standard and business unit,” “Produce TRIR/DART trend with incident root causes,” “List suppliers with expiring insurance in 30 days and projected premium exposure.”
-
Expected outputs: Timestamped artifacts, linked source records, and an auditable trail aligning value claims to underlying data. Learn more on the Rosella page.
Implementation playbook (90 days)
1) Baseline: Import last 12 months of incidents, audits, supplier and COI data, and finance actuals. 2) Automate: Turn on regulatory monitoring, evidence capture, COI verification, and ISO workflows. 3) Integrate: Connect HRIS/Payroll, GL/ERP, and collaboration tools (Slack/Teams/Trello) for end‑to‑end telemetry. 4) Validate: Reconcile hour‑savings with manager attestations; link savings to cost centers. 5) Publish: Share the Value Realization Hub to leadership; set quarterly targets.
What results to expect
- The Features page notes customers report saving 40+ hours per month through automation and cites up to 20x ROI and >50% reduction in manual tasks. Use the ROI Calculator to quantify your organization’s specific results with your data.
Guardrails and disclaimers
-
Parakeet does not guarantee specific outcomes (e.g., accident reductions). Safety and compliance results depend on your controls, training, operational discipline, and risk profile.
-
Use conservative assumptions; validate every benefit line with traceable evidence from connected systems.
