What is project chaos costing your firm?
Status-chasing, tool-switching, and hunting for context quietly eat billable hours. Put a number on it, then see how much you could win back. Free, no signup.
See where your firm's time actually goes.
In a 30-minute demo we run PYNGYN on a project like yours and show how status, context, and updates stop eating your billable day.
Honest math, your inputs.
Most firms feel the drag of coordination but never price it. The model here is simple and transparent on purpose. Annual billing per person is your day rate times your billable days. The share of that time lost to status updates, tool-switching, and searching for context becomes lost value per person, and across the team it is your firm-wide cost of chaos.
The recoverable figure is deliberately conservative. It applies a win-back rate that you set, because no tool reclaims every lost minute. From there the calculator compares the recovered value against an editable tool cost to show net annual gain, return on investment, and how quickly the spend pays for itself.
Treat the output as a directional estimate, not a quote. The point is not a precise figure, it is to make a hidden cost visible so you can decide whether it is worth fixing. When you want to model your firm properly, book a demo.
Questions, answered.
- What does the ROI calculator measure?
- It estimates the annual cost of coordination overhead at a services firm: the billable time lost to status-chasing, tool-switching, and hunting for context. It then shows how much of that you could realistically win back and the resulting return on investment and payback period.
- Where do the default numbers come from?
- The 35% time-lost default reflects commonly cited figures for time knowledge workers spend on coordination rather than billable work. Every input, including day rate, billable days, time lost, and win-back rate, is yours to adjust so the result reflects your firm.
- How is the cost of chaos calculated?
- Annual billing per person equals day rate times billable days. Multiply by the percentage of time lost to get the lost value per person, then by headcount for the firm-wide cost. The recoverable figure applies your chosen win-back rate to that total.
- Is the win-back rate realistic?
- It is an assumption you control. The default of 50% is deliberately conservative: no tool recovers every lost minute. Lower it for a cautious estimate or raise it to model a best case.
- Is the calculator free?
- Yes, it is free with no signup. Adjust the inputs as many times as you like and copy a summary of the result. To model your firm in detail, book a demo.
