ROI Calculator — SQUDO AI® Labour Savings
See your 12-month payback in three inputs.
Tune the dials — alert volume, Tier 1 headcount, average investigation time — and watch the savings update live. Assumption: SQUDO AI® investigates every alert 80% faster, at 20% of your current per-alert time.
Illustrative example: 2,000 alerts/day, 8 Tier-1 security employees, average salary $85,000 USD/yr, 28 min per alert today (250 alerts/employee/day — critical, team is drowning). Your 8 analysts can reach roughly 137 of 2,000 daily alerts; SQUDO investigates the other 1,863 — work that would otherwise take roughly 93 additional analysts. Roughly 186,667 annual employee hours freed for hunting, ≈ $7.9M equivalent annual labour value freed. Per-alert investigation time 5.6 min, vs 28 min today, every alert, every shift. Model assumptions shown in full: 8-hour shifts, 250 working days per year, loaded cost = salary input, hours freed = (your min/alert × 0.80) × alerts, per-alert time with SQUDO = your min/alert × 0.20.
Holds even at full headcount: a fully staffed team still takes 28 min per alert, with fatigue and inconsistency built in. SQUDO holds 5.6 min at 3am and at 3pm, every day of the year.
Dwell time, not just labour: slower triage means longer attacker dwell time. Cost savings are the easy number to model; breach exposure is the one that matters.
Audit trail, on every alert: 100% of alerts get a cited, explainable verdict, whether your team is at capacity or not.
Illustrative model. Actual outcomes depend on alert mix, integrations and analyst workflow. Talk to us for an estate-specific assessment.
