Method & assumptions
For each path, add setup and incremental monthly cash costs over the same horizon. Allocated ramp effects remain outside the cash comparison.
Hypothetical worked example
A $5,000 development setup plus $200 monthly for 12 months is $7,400.
Scope and limitations
- User-entered planning assumptions, not verified market data or a professional determination.
- Existing payroll common to both paths is excluded. No automatic hiring, promotion, or termination decision.
