Remediation Cost Calculator
This route is intentionally separate from risk scoring. It models the cost and timeline to fix issues identified during diligence, with different inputs and different output intent.
Post-diligence remediation estimate. This model translates issue severity and delivery capacity into cost and timeline ranges.

Remediation Method
How Remediation Cost Estimation Works
Uses severity-based issue counts plus blended delivery-rate assumptions to estimate fix effort in hours.
Applies contingency and team-capacity assumptions to convert remediation effort into budget and timeline ranges.
Designed for post-diligence action planning, not for risk scoring; do not collapse remediation intent into the risk-score hub.
Use outputs as planning ranges and validate with architecture and engineering leads before final transaction terms.
Field Setup Guide
Each field below explains what to input and how to keep assumptions consistent across reviewers.
Critical issues
Count of highest-severity findings requiring immediate remediation attention.
High issues
Count of serious findings with meaningful operational or delivery impact.
Medium issues
Count of moderate findings that should be remediated in planned waves.
Low issues
Count of lower-severity findings that still require tracked closure.
Blended hourly rate
Fully loaded delivery rate for the remediation team mix used in planning.
Contingency (%)
Planning buffer for unknowns, coordination overhead, and discovery during execution.
Parallel engineers
Realistic number of engineers who can work in parallel without creating bottlenecks.
Frequently Asked Questions
+Why is remediation cost a separate page?
The math is different: risk scoring estimates exposure; remediation estimation models fix effort, budget, and timeline.
+Can this replace a technical debt cost model?
No. It is a post-diligence remediation lens; technical debt models remain a separate owning cluster.
+Is this estimate precise enough for legal pricing terms?
Use it as directional planning input, then validate with deeper issue-level scoping before binding commitments.
+How are issue severities translated into effort?
The model applies severity-based hour factors, then adds contingency and team-capacity assumptions to estimate practical ranges.
+When should contingency be increased?
Increase contingency when requirements are unclear, dependencies are unstable, or historical estimate variance is high.
+Why include parallel engineers instead of only total hours?
Calendar timeline depends on execution capacity and coordination limits, not just total effort size.
