Engineer-weeks + fully-loaded compensation + opportunity cost. The number nobody puts on the deck when they suggest an internal team can do the audit.
Your internal DIY audit is likely costing $685K in engineering payroll, which is 13.7x the cost of the full Enterprise SKU ($50K) with regulator-defensible attestation, and 57x the Enterprise DIY tier ($12K).
| Path | Cash cost | Team engineer-weeks | Total loaded cost | Regulator-defensible? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DIY internal (calculated above) | $0 | 162 | $685K | No |
| Sensor Boot Camp | $3,000 | 2-4 | $20K | No |
| Peer Review Only | $5-7K | 108-162 | $690K | No |
| Enterprise DIY | $12,000 | 40-50 | $225K | No |
| Full Enterprise | $35-50K | 5-10 | $85K | Yes |
All loaded costs use the same engineer-week cost from your inputs. Assumes 20-30 engineer-weeks for internal team support of external Enterprise SKU. Assumes 2-4 engineer-weeks for Boot Camp attendance + implementation.
