Outcomes · Put the program to work

Keep the practice. Plan the next wave.

You have a path from a ready ticket to a specified change, working guardrails, verified understanding, and a playbook another pod can use. Bring that evidence into a team plan: decide where added capacity would help, who will coach the next wave, and how you will keep checking quality.

What could this mean for 50 engineers?

30% gain per trained engineer

Benefits begin in Month 1. All 50 engineers trained by Month 3.

Apply the 30% gain only to engineers already trained: 5 in Month 1, 30 in Month 2, and all 50 from Month 3. These are cumulative counts.

Month 4including the upfront investment

50 engineers × 30% gain = 15 engineer-equivalents of added capacity.
$3,000,000 annual gross output value − $260,000 annual AI and training = $2,740,000 annual net output value.

With this training rollout and $500,000 upfront investment, Year 1 net output value is $1,915,000. AI and training are budgeted for all 50 engineers from Month 1. Output is valued using loaded payroll.
