The hidden cost of misalignment
Most scaling companies do not realize how much they are losing to the alignment tax: the time, money, and opportunity cost of leaders who are not operating as a unit.

How the calculator thinks
These are the three cost buckets the ROI model uses.
Executive time lost
Number of senior leaders × hours per week spent creating alignment × weeks per year × hourly rate.
Example: 6 leaders × 10 hrs × 48 weeks × $200/hr = $576,000/year
Engineering rework
Engineering team cost × rework rate from misaligned priorities.
Example: $3M annual engineering cost × 20 percent = $600,000/year
Delayed launches
Revenue per month × months delayed × number of delayed projects.
Example: $50K/mo × 2 months × 3 projects = $300,000/year
Total alignment tax example
$1,476,000/year
Even recovering 30 percent produces $442,800 in annual value.
