Estimates based on Design Lever's engagement benchmarks and Cognitive Market Research, 2024. Directional, not an audit, a Health Assessment produces the real figure.
Turn this into a real numberTwo costs, both grounded in benchmarks.
Design inconsistency and missing standards push work back to engineering. Studies put this at 20–30% of sprint capacity, we apply your figure to the affected engineers' salaries.
Senior designers stay 12–18 months without a leader, and cost 6–9 months of salary to replace. We multiply your exits by the replacement cost you set.
Your design team is costing you money, and it isn't their fault.
A free Design Team Health Assessment replaces this estimate with a real, defensible figure, and shows you what to do about it.

How accurate is this estimate?+
It is directional, not an audit. The figures use Design Lever engagement benchmarks and published research to give you an order-of-magnitude read, a Health Assessment produces the real number.
What assumptions does it make?+
Two cost drivers: engineering time lost to design-caused rework (engineers × salary × rework %), and senior designer attrition (exits × salary × replacement months). You set every input.
Is my data stored anywhere?+
Your inputs stay in your browser so the tool remembers them on your next visit. Nothing is sent to us unless you choose to book an assessment.
