# ROI calculator What verification is costing you. Your team size, releases, validation hours, and blocking incidents in — the annual cost of checking by hand, out. Inputs (name — range, default): - Mobile engineers — 3–200, default 25 - Releases per month — 1–12, default 4 - Fully-loaded cost per engineer (yr) — 60000–350000, default 150000 - Validation hours per engineer, per release — 1–40, default 5 - Release-blocking incidents per quarter — 0–12, default 3 - Validation effort Aucert automates — 20–90, default 60% - Incidents caught before release — 30–95, default 75% - Cost per blocking incident — 10000–400000, default 75000 Outputs: annual value recovered (dollars), engineering days reclaimed per year, blocking incidents prevented per year. At the default inputs the calculator returns **$934,615** recovered per year, **450** engineering days reclaimed, and **9** blocking incidents prevented. ## How this is calculated - Hours saved = engineers × validation hours each per release × releases/yr × the share Aucert automates. - Hourly cost = fully-loaded salary ÷ 2,080 working hours. - Incident value = incidents/yr × the share caught pre-release × cost per incident. - Defaults are illustrative starting points — replace every one with your own.
