Simulation 09 — Cost of Delay

Slow drawings
aren't cheap.

A slipped infrastructure schedule costs revenue that never returns. This tool converts a delay in weeks into lost revenue across your program, so an engineering fee can be compared against the cost of waiting rather than against another engineering fee.

◆ Delay cost = units × monthly value × weeks slipped. "Recovered" compares a typical 21-day drawing turnaround against Aria's 5–10 day cadence on the same program. Value-per-unit defaults are illustrative — drag the slider to your own economics.

In short

  • Delay cost is calculated as unit count multiplied by revenue per unit per month, across the weeks of slip.
  • Revenue lost to a deployment delay is not recovered later; the site simply earns for fewer months.
  • Aria delivers construction drawings in 5 to 10 business days, with revisions on a priority lane.
  • Figures produced by this tool are illustrative and depend entirely on the revenue assumptions entered.
