I came across something earlier this year (cannot recall the exact reference but will try to find it) that had cautionary tales about applying strictly commercial measures such as ROI to educational provision, preferring to measure “value of investment”. Not sure if this is helpful in tour context or might just sound like playing with words! However, I think there is a case for challenging entirely commercial models of evaluation in education settings.

A quick bit of Googling reveals…..
