This is a planning model, not a savings claim. It compares your own time assumptions with the public US$290 fixed price. The service scope and suitability still need written confirmation before any work begins.
Your assumptions stay adjustable
Set your own provider count, research time, review time, and internal hourly cost. The result is not a promised saving.
No content is needed
The calculator works from research-time assumptions and does not request generation content or account credentials.
