What did that hire actually cost you?
No lead gate. A cost range, not false precision. This is a starting point - the diagnostic reads the real drivers.

About the methodology
The 1.5-3.5x salary multiplier range reflects widely published mis-hire cost research. The actual cost in your organization depends on role criticality, how long the wrong person was in seat, and what the team carried during that period. This calculator produces an order-of-magnitude estimate, not an audit. The diagnostic identifies the decision points that drive the actual number.
