This calculator uses your numbers, not ours. It estimates what a stalled transformation is currently costing — and how much planned remediation spend may be aimed at the wrong constraint.
Your programme
Rough figures are fine — this is an order-of-magnitude estimate.
What this is and isn't. These figures estimate your current exposure — the cost of continuing without a confirmed diagnosis. They are not a claim about outcomes achieved by the Change Metabolism Diagnostic™, which has not yet been measured against a control. The estimate assumes only that money spent on a stalled programme, and money aimed at a non-binding capability, do not produce the intended return.
Transformation Exposure Brief

Your exposure
Monthly burn rate
—
Programme budget ÷ planned duration
Spend absorbed by delay to date
—
Burn × months behind schedule
Forward cost of continued stall
—
Burn × expected further delay
Remediation at risk of misallocation
—
Spend aimed at a capability that may not be the binding constraint
Total exposure over the next year

The metabolic constraint principle: adaptive capacity is bounded by the weakest capability, not the strongest. Investment in any other capability leaves the system where it was — which is why locating the binding constraint precedes spending against it.
