Diagnosis Summary:Based on an engineering team of 25 and $15,000/mo spend with none governance, your organization is losing approximately $1,328,400 annually in dead token retries, unmonitored prompt bloat, and context maintenance.
Calculator Methodology & Empirical Model
This calculator uses the Product Debt Index (PDI) and AI Provider Efficiency Ratio (A-PER) baseline formulas. Engineering waste is calculated assuming a $15,000/month fully-loaded engineer cost with variable time misallocated to non-deterministic maintenance depending on governance maturity.
