Migration Cost Calculator

What this calculator doesn't capture

The numbers above cover the quantifiable costs well. But several important factors resist easy quantification — and these are often what tip the real decision:

Compliance risk near an audit. If a migration runs into unexpected problems within 90 days of your audit — and they sometimes do — the cost isn't in dollars, it's in audit delays, auditor relationship strain, and potential gaps in your compliance posture. This risk is highest in complex migrations and when timing is tight.

Auditor relationship disruption. An auditor who has spent 2–3 audit cycles becoming familiar with how your current platform presents evidence will need to re-learn on a new platform. This adds hours to your audit process and occasionally creates friction when evidence format differs from what they expect.

Integration rebuild complexity beyond time estimates. The calculator applies a multiplier for integration count, but individual integrations vary dramatically in complexity. One badly-documented custom integration can consume the time budget for 10 standard ones. If your stack includes custom API integrations or non-standard configurations, the actual reconnection time may exceed the model.

Evidence that won't transfer. URL-linked evidence has no file to transfer. If the calculator shows a meaningful evidence remediation cost, that reflects a real workflow change your team needs to plan for — not just a one-time cost item.

A consultation addresses these factors specifically: we look at your integration stack, audit timeline, and evidence storage patterns and give you a risk-adjusted recommendation, not just a cost estimate.
