So fight bean counting with bean counting

Best formula is average employee pay × number of employees × time to fix = money lost.

The trick is to find a solution that is lower than money lost.

Say 20 employees at €35/h for 4 hours. €2800 is how much the company lost in wages.

You will find bean counters are more acceptable to a €5000 server over 5 years if it prevents €2800 of lost wages per patch Wednesday.
