This is a directional decision model, not a guarantee. It shows the year-over-year cost contrast and the retained margin implied by replacing the TC line item with a flat software cost.
Paradigm shift
The hidden cost is not the invoice. It is the coordination burden.
Human payroll
Salaries, taxes, onboarding, and the cost of keeping a person aligned on every file.
Management overhead
Every handoff still needs a second layer of supervision, reminders, and follow-through.
Context loss
When details live in a person’s head, the business pays when they are unavailable, slow, or inconsistent.
