Answer questions about your stack, team, and spend — no system access required. Get a directional estimate of what legacy technical debt is costing you annually across 7 dimensions.
Unaddressed technical debt tends to compound rather than stay flat, as workarounds accumulate and systems age further. Modeled here at an illustrative 18%/year compounding rate.
This is an educated estimate, not an audit. Figures are directional (typically ±30–40%) and derived from self-reported inputs combined with published industry benchmarks (e.g., Stripe Developer Coefficient, McKinsey, Flexera State of the Cloud, DORA/Accelerate, CISQ cost-of-poor-quality research). We have no access to your codebase, infrastructure, or vendor contracts — nothing here constitutes a technical, security, or financial audit.
Use this to frame an internal conversation about prioritization and budget, not as a precise forecast or a substitute for formal technical due diligence. Actual costs vary significantly by codebase, team composition, and business context.
