What would better workshop starting material need to prevent to pay for itself?
Use this calculator to estimate the break-even threshold for an IPOceans engagement. Enter your team size, hourly rate, workshop length, and other inputs to see how much time, delay, or risk-adjusted exposure the engagement would need to save to cover its cost.
Value buckets
- Team-time value: Senior hours saved by starting with structured evidence instead of raw search results.
- Delay reduction value: Cost of weeks saved when better starting material prevents workshop restarts or direction changes.
- Risk-adjusted exposure: Fraction of downside prevented when a better-informed workshop avoids costly wrong directions.
- Engagement fee: The cost of the IPOceans analysis itself.
Break-even thresholds
The calculator shows how many senior hours, full-team workshop hours, weeks of delay, or percentage of exposure the engagement needs to prevent in order to break even — each threshold independently, so you can use whichever is most meaningful to your situation.
