ROI calculator · v1.0

Plug in your numbers.
See your ROI.

The pricing page tells you what each tier costs. This page tells you what each tier saves against the alternative — usually another compliance-consultant retainer plus internal engineering time on every security questionnaire. Adjust the inputs to match your reality. Honest math. No signup. No tracking. Numbers live in your browser only.

Honest framing — what this calculator IS and ISN'T

It is: a structured way to translate KGE's value into your numbers — engineering hours recovered, consultant retainer avoided, deal-cycle compression. The methodology is the same one we'd use on a discovery call.

It isn't: a guarantee. Your actual numbers will differ. The "deal-cycle compression value" especially depends on whether your security review is truly the bottleneck (it often isn't — sometimes legal or procurement is, in which case KGE helps less).

Defensible assumptions baked in:

  • Questionnaire time savings tiers (50/75/85%) reflect what hosted Decision Card review + answer library reuse typically delivers — your actual savings depend on questionnaire variety.
  • Deal-cycle compression valued at opportunity cost of slipped close, not direct revenue uplift. Conservatively: 2 weeks × ($150K typical enterprise ARR ÷ 50 weeks).
  • Consultant retainer savings cap at your stated monthly retainer × 12, even if KGE replaces 100% of their work — if they do more than KGE covers, the model under-claims.
