What does it give back?

Put your own headcount and salary figures in. Every assumption behind the number is open, editable, and deliberately conservative.

Your teams

Headcount and the loaded salary pool for each group. Everything recalculates as you type. The pool is the team’s combined cost, so raise it when you add people — headcount drives the hours, the pool drives the money.

Where the numbers come from

Every capability below is one row of the model, with the share of each team’s month it returns. Nothing is hidden — open it and change anything you disagree with.

Not counted aboveExcluded

Nobody is spending this time today, so counting it as a saving would be false. It is real value — risk and quality — but it never enters the figures above.

  • Design debt becomes visible and trended, instead of surfacing during an incident.
  • Stale groups are removed, so the access surface shrinks.
  • Intercompany breaks are triaged every period rather than at year end.
  • Security drift is caught in the period it happens.
  • Where-used answers are complete, so change impact stops being a judgement call.
  • Analysis names the sources it could not read instead of guessing at them.

These figures are modelled, not measured. Each capability was decomposed into its steps on the manual path and on Commander — there is no telemetry behind them. They are a starting position, and they are deliberately conservative: at the defaults this model returns about 7% of a team’s capacity, not the multiples this kind of calculator usually claims.
