    This payback is frozen at today's throughput. Compass keeps it live.

    Save this evaluation to your Compass wishlist. As your throughput grows, Compass auto-refreshes the ROI math, re-ranks every machine on your radar by current payback, tracks vendor quotes side-by-side, and alerts you when one moves to top-of-list. The right time to buy isn't always when you first evaluated.
