The investment

One-time build cost, plus Datably's ongoing Strategic Partnership.

$600,000
This is the actual one-time cost to build the app. Slide it up or down to model scope changes — cutting a feature, adding one, or bringing on extra dev support.
$12,275/mo
Datably Strategic Partnership — hosting, support & infrastructure once CFP is live, netted out of the savings below. Year 1 is billed at a reduced ramp rate of $4,075/mo while the app is still being built and going live; the ongoing rate set above applies from year 2 onward.

CFP's current costs — slide to match reality

These are our estimates for what the manual process costs CFP today. You know the real numbers — drag any line to fit them.

Field-to-office data entry
How we got this: an admin entry person costs $/hr and it takes min to key in one work order — (6÷60) × $25 = $2.50 per entry.
Manual redaction of customer copies
Avoidable return trips
How we got this: 1% of work orders have an error on them that forces a return trip. Assuming a $ work order's worth of fix each time: 1% × $200 = $2.00 per work order — this is the total cost.

How to read this. The cost lines on the right are Datably's estimates of what CFP's manual process costs today — drag each to CFP's real figures, or use the info notes to see exactly how a number was built. This view weighs those savings against the full investment: the one-time build cost, plus Datably's Strategic Partnership Agreement (hosting, support & infrastructure) — billed at a reduced $4,075/mo through year 1 while the app is built and goes live, then the ongoing rate set above from year 2. Figures are confirmed during Discovery & Solution Design. This is a planning tool, not a guarantee.
