ℹ️ Methodology: Firefighting = team × salary × %. Reporting = hrs/wk × 52 × rate. Decision = count × avg cost. Infra waste = monthly × 12 × waste %. Based on benchmarks from Gartner, IDC, Flexera, and HBR research on data quality economics. Use this as a starting point for a conversation, not a precise audit.
