Tracer / Business case

Estimated annual evidence-preparation time and cost avoided

This is a modeled scenario, not a guarantee, and not a measurement of your organization. Tracer measures requirements, tests, and gaps. It has not measured your organization's evidence-preparation work, so this page does not pretend to. It runs your figures through two lines of arithmetic and shows the result in three scenarios.

Every input below ships blank. Tracer publishes no benchmark, no industry average, and no default displacement rate, because it holds no measurement that would justify one. A number you did not supply is a number nobody can defend.

Your assumptions

Inputs you supply
Tracer has not observed your review process and holds no measurement of it. hours
Review cadence is set by your auditors and regulators, not by Tracer. reviews per year
Only your finance function knows this figure; any number Tracer offered would be invented. currency per hour
Tracer has published no measured displacement rate, so the band comes from your own three figures. percent
Tracer has published no measured displacement rate, so the band comes from your own three figures. percent

The arithmetic

Both lines run exactly as printed. There is no hidden multiplier, no ramp curve, and no adjustment factor.

hours avoided per year = hours per cycle × reviews per year × share replaced
cost avoided per year = hours avoided per year × fully loaded hourly cost

Two figures the arithmetic would accept, and Tracer will not. A share of existing work below 0% or above 100% has nothing behind it to replace. Bands out of order — expected under conservative, or push hard under expected — would carry labels their own numbers contradict. In either case the page names the refusal and the input that caused it, rather than returning a figure a buyer could act on.

Modeled result

Estimated — not measured, not a guarantee.

Enter every figure above and Tracer will run the two lines of arithmetic printed beside them. Tracer supplies no starting numbers because it has measured none of yours.

Confidence: not_connected — Tracer bands its predictions and states a confidence when it has outcome data to derive one from. It has none for evidence-preparation displacement, so it reports the absence rather than inventing a percentage. The spread between your three scenarios is the only uncertainty this page can honestly show.

What this page deliberately leaves out

Avoided defects are not monetized here, by design. Putting a currency figure on defects that were never found would require evidence linking Tracer's use to a defect outcome in your organization, and no such evidence exists. Tracer names the gaps in your traceability; it does not claim the downstream consequences of closing them.

Nothing on this page is gated. There is no email field, no sign-up, and no contact form between you and the result.
