At the risk of sounding the curmudgeon, if a tool appears killed before it's
time it's just a calculation error, either in the ROI measurements or those
related to the value of the tool.
As a principle, measuring for ROI is critical -- who wants to invest $1000
to make $100 back?
But of course, the efficacy of ROI measurements is a function of the
earnestness put into deriving them. :)
