It's also good to be explicit about the bits not calculated in the ROI.

Utility functions that only use monies as input is sooo 18th century.

The concept of ROI does not need to be restricted to money. Every time someone thinks “I will do this because it is worth it or worth my time”, whether it be talking to a neighbor or performing labor in exchange for money, you are making the calculation.
