It's the dollar value of your engineers' time spent on plumbing instead of building new features. Estimated Annual Kubernetes Integration Tax $0 Per year spent on tool integration overhead Time on Plumbing 0% Platform team time spent on integration & maintenance Tool Sprawl Score 0 Measures breadth of your fragmented tool stack Complexity Index 0 Composite score of infrastructure complexity Kubernetes Integration Tax Per Engineer $0 Annual cost lost to integration work per team member About Your Results Your Environment Here's what you told us about your Kubernetes networking stack. Your Profile vs. Industry Baseline Your Organization Industry Baseline Cost Breakdown Engineering time on glue work $0 Extended MTTR from multi-tool troubleshooting $0 Tool licensing overlap $0 Onboarding drag $0 Upgrade & regression cost $0 Total Estimated Kubernetes Integration Tax $0 Projected Savings From Consolidation Based on industry data, ~40% of integration tax is recoverable by consolidating onto a unified networking, security, and observability platform. Annual recoverable savings $0 Engineering capacity returned to your team each year Estimated payback , From contract start, including a 60% Year-1 ramp 3-year net benefit $0 Cumulative savings minus estimated platform investment **Method:** Recovery rate (40%) and Year-1 ramp (60%) come from the Calico ROI model and are conservative against customer-reported ranges. Investment is estimated from cluster count plus a one-time implementation cost; your actual contract may differ.
