ROI · Cost of delay
The review pauses the deal. Not the cost.
A deal that sits in security review does not pause its cost. Each week ties up pipeline and burns engineering time answering the same questionnaire. Put in your numbers and see the annual figure, then see what a signed evidence report changes.
Your numbers, your figure.
Four inputs on the left, the annual cost and savings on the right. Nothing is sent anywhere; the model runs live on this page.

Payback vs the $750 report
2 days
A single Signed Readiness Report at $750 is covered by the friction it removes in roughly 2 days.
Payback vs $15,000 Full Readiness
5 weeks
The $15,000 Full Readiness package is covered in about 5 weeks of the savings it creates.
This is an estimate, not a quote or a guarantee. It is built only from the numbers you enter and the labeled assumptions above. Deal slippage and review length vary by buyer, sector, and quarter. kolm does not warrant any outcome, and the pricing on this page is the flat, published fee. Use this to frame the conversation, then check the real figures against your own pipeline.
Two clocks, one annual figure.
A review stalls on two costs at once. The calculator adds them, applies them across your deals, then re-runs both with the review compressed to days.
Cost one
Deal value at risk
Each extra week a deal sits in review carries a small chance it slips a quarter or is lost. We multiply the contract value by a conservative weekly risk and by the number of weeks in review. Shorten the review and that exposure shrinks with it.
contract value x weekly risk x weeks
Cost two
Engineering time
Every review pulls engineers off the roadmap to answer questionnaires, assemble evidence, and join review calls. We price those hours at a fully loaded rate. A signed report that ships the evidence up front cuts the hours per deal.
hours per review x loaded rate
The comparison
Then add the fee
The projected side keeps a short review and a few hours per deal, then adds the published kolm fee so nothing is hidden. Net savings is today minus that total. Payback is the published fee divided by the friction the report removes.
today minus (friction + fee)
The same audit that drives this estimate ends in an Ed25519-signed report your buyer verifies offline. See how it works, or open a sample report.
Conservative on purpose.
A calculator only helps if a buyer's finance team would sign off on it. Each default is set low, and each is yours to override.
No inflated win-rate
Risk, not certainty
We never assume a stalled deal is lost. The model applies a small per-week probability to the deal value, so a long review only ever puts a fraction of pipeline at risk.
No free lunch
The fee is in the total
The published kolm fee is added to the projected side before savings are shown. The number you see is after paying for the report, not before.
No hidden hours
kolm reviews still cost time
The compressed path keeps real engineering hours and a real review window. We shorten the clock, we do not zero it out.

Caveats: Scope is contractual. Permission posture, redaction and audit-trail integrity are assessed. Injection is tested and reported, not warranted.
