Build, hire or embed
Add execution capacity while you build your team.
Internal capability and embedded delivery can work together. Choose based on the work, the expertise you need to retain and how soon the organization is ready to execute.
Discuss ANY EmbeddedInternal hiring: lasting ownership.
Recruiting, interviews, notice periods and onboarding precede a team’s working rhythm. Hiring can be the right investment when the capability is central to your long-term business.
- Direct management and long-term context
- Recruiting and team formation responsibilities
- Ongoing capacity, development and retention
ANY Embedded: scoped delivery capacity.
Agree a team around a specific operational problem. Start dates depend on availability and readiness; the engagement can complement your internal hiring and engineering organization.
- Composition matched to the delivery problem
- Shared backlog and direct operator access
- Flexible scope with explicit knowledge transfer
Compare the whole operating model.
Use your own hiring timeline, loaded costs and support needs. Include integration access, leadership time, security review and ownership after launch in either option.
- What must stay inside your organization?
- Who owns decisions, access and production support?
- What is the first release, and what could delay it?
Compare the cost. Make the assumptions visible.
Use your hiring budget and an engagement quote for the same scope of work. Compare an equal number of delivery months, then consider the start dates separately.
Your assumptions. Two delivery models.
Enter your assumptions to see the estimated cost of each option and the difference between their start dates. No ANY pricing or hiring benchmark is assumed.
What the comparison includes
Internal cost = people × annual loaded cost × months ÷ 12 + total recruiting and setup cost. Embedded cost = monthly fee × months + one-time setup cost.
Loaded cost should include salary, benefits and employer costs. Include comparable management, software and support costs in both budgets. The estimate excludes tax, financing, delay costs and any expenses you have not entered. A lower cost does not establish equivalent capacity or quality.
