The Engineering Unit ROI Calculator is built for those who want to see the real operational tradeoffs between traditional vendors and dedicated Engineering Units (Pods) across
Delivery velocity
Management load
Execution riskIt doesn’t assume Pods always win.
It shows when they do, when they don’t, and why.
Takes 5–7 minutes to completeProduces a clear, scenario-based outcomeDesigned for engineering heads & senior leadershipWhat the result actually means
When you finish the calculator, you won’t just see a “yes” or “no.”
You’ll see
Where delivery slows down as teams scale
How much leadership time is being absorbed by coordination and rework
When lower hourly rates stop translating into real throughput
At what team size and complexity dedicated Pods begin to outperform vendors
The output is intentionally conservative. If Pods are not the right fit for your current situation, the model will show that too
