Run the numbers before you scope.
Three inputs — team size, weekly PR volume, hours spent on review. We project the time, hours, and cost-of-delay you’d save by running the Nightjar fleet instead of a single-agent code-review tool, on the exact same baseline.

Annualized (× 48 work weeks)
768 hrs
That’s the review load every column below subtracts from.
Annual savings · fleet vs single-agent
$40,320
That’s the delta of the two annualized cost-of-delay figures. The fleet recoups $40,320 more engineering burn per year than a single-agent tool does, on the same baseline.
- Hours / week fleet recovers
- 10 hrs
- Hours / week a single-agent recovers

Compare · 03
Side by side.
Same baseline, two coverage profiles. Cost-of-delay applies to both so the delta zeroes out only when coverage does.

How the math is built.
These are illustrative multipliers — tuned so the fleet column beats the single-agent column at every realistic input. Pull the model down to a notebook if you want to swap them.
- Fleet coverage
- 65% of baseline review hours absorbed by four agents (review + security + issues + shipping).
- Single-agent coverage
- 30% of baseline review hours absorbed by a narrow band of review automation.
- Hours / week remaining
- hoursReviewPerWeek × (1 − coverage)
- Hours / week saved
- hoursReviewPerWeek × coverage
- Hours / year recovered
- hoursSavedPerWeek × 48
- Annual cost-of-delay
- hoursRemainingPerWeek × 48 × $150/hr
- Annual savings headline
- singleAgent.costOfDelay − fleet.costOfDelay
Bring the Nightjar fleet into your pilot.
Apply these multipliers to your real repo and registry shape — we’ll co-design the pilot lanes with your platform lead before the first prod branch is touched.
