ROI · Per developer

Review and rework

What does every pull request review, and every fix made early, save each developer?

Developers

Engineers opening pull requests.

Pull requests per developer per week

Agent-assisted teams usually open more, smaller PRs.

Reviewer minutes saved per PRmin

The first pass — what changed, what it touches, what looks off — arrives with the PR. A few minutes, not an hour.

Loaded cost per engineering hour$

Fully loaded cost of one engineering hour — salary, benefits, overhead. Use your own.

Findings per developer per month

Architecture findings only; secrets and CVEs are counted on the security calculator.

Findings that are real%

The rest are false positives, and they cost triage time below.

Real findings your team fixes%

The biggest lever, and usually lower than teams expect. A finding nobody fixes is worth nothing.

Hours to fix once it has shipped and spreadh

With an agent doing the fix, even a late fix is mostly finding it again and re-reviewing.

Hours to fix at review timeh

Each finding carries a location and a prompt for your coding agent.

Minutes to dismiss a false positivemin

Charged against the result, so noise is never free.

The formula

Nothing on this page is hidden.

review  = developers × PRs/week × 4.33 × minutes saved ÷ 60 × rate
rework  = developers × findings × precision × capture × (late hours − early hours) × rate
noise   = developers × findings × (1 − precision) × dismiss minutes ÷ 60 × rate

per developer / month = (review + rework − noise) ÷ developers

Capture rate is the lever that matters most. A finding the team never fixes is worth nothing, so the calculator never assumes it will be.

False positives are charged against the result. A review tool that is mostly noise should show a loss here, and it will.
