The line item no budget shows

Price your rework

Salaries are a line. Cloud is a line. The feature built twice and the review that sat two weeks hide inside the other lines — so nobody manages them. Three inputs, one number.

Salary + taxes + overhead. If unsure, salary × 1.35.
Work redone, changes waiting on review, context-switching back into stale branches. Industry surveys put typical teams at 10–25%.
The cc'd-upward email that stops the roadmap. Costed at €12,000 each: alignment meetings, two engineers pulled onto the fire, the concession that calms things.
€0
per year, leaking silently
  • €0 — rework and review-wait hours, priced at loaded cost
  • €0 — escalation handling
  • that is 0 senior-engineer salaries, spent producing nothing

The arithmetic, in the open

engineers × loaded cost × 12 × share lost plus escalations × 4 × €12,000. No model, no multipliers you can't see. The share is the only estimate in it — and that is exactly the problem: most teams have never measured it. One spreadsheet column for one sprint replaces the estimate with a fact.

Measure it instead of estimating it

We'll send you the one-sprint measurement column — the exact fields to log when work comes back, so the slider above becomes your real number. You'll also join the early-access list for the delivery system we use to produce these numbers per task, automatically.
