What is faster delivery worth to your business?
Give your team more time to build. Estimate the engineering capacity and customer value you could unlock by reducing repeated AI work.
Your engineering team
Start with two things you know. Explore how less repeated AI work could create more time for the roadmap.
Based on approximately 15 engineers regularly using coding agents.
Example salary shown. Use your team’s average, or leave blank.
If your team ships customer-requested features sooner, what additional business could that enable?
Example values shown. Replace them with your own customer scenario.
Missed rules turn engineering time into rework.
When agents miss your team’s instructions, engineers have to step back in. Repeated corrections and explanations take time away from customer features and product improvements.
A rule gets missed
The agent overlooks a team standard or repeats an approach that already failed.
An engineer steps in
Someone has to catch the mistake, explain the context again, and fix the result.
Valuable work waits
Time that could move the roadmap forward goes into repeating work the team has already done.
How this estimate works
Time back: based on customer results, we estimate 13 hours back per month for each engineer regularly using coding agents. Your monthly estimate is your team size × the share using coding agents × 13 hours. This is a customer-informed estimate; your results will depend on your workflows.
Engineering capacity value: monthly hours recovered × average annual base salary ÷ 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). This values time your team could redirect toward higher-value work; it does not reduce payroll. Benefits, bonuses and equity are excluded. This figure is shown separately from potential customer value and is not added to it.
Customer value: additional customers × first-year contract value. This is your commercial scenario, calculated independently of engineering capacity. It is not guaranteed revenue, profit, or revenue recognized this quarter. If those customers would close later anyway, the benefit is timing rather than entirely new contract value.
More accurate results: a discussion of your workflows and evidence can refine the capacity estimate and identify which repeated corrections are avoidable. Rule-related correction time should replace the relevant estimate, not be counted twice.
