What it is worth

Your numbers,
not ours.

Every figure below is one you enter. We do not know your floor, so we are not going to tell you what it costs. Put your own numbers in and the arithmetic is yours to check.

Your floor

The starting values are placeholders, not claims. Change every one of them to yours.

People who actually touch the rigs.

Salary plus overhead, in your currency.

Walking to the rig, reading the screen, transcribing into a sheet.

Across the whole floor, not per person.

Chamber time, cycler time, bench time. Whatever the run was occupying.

46 working weeks rather than 52, for leave and the weeks nothing runs. No figure here comes from us. We publish measured SK-01 numbers only once the first units run, which is why this page asks you rather than tells you.

Take it to your manager.

On our floor, watching runs and assembling evidence takes about 1,848 engineering hours a year, which is about ₹46,20,000. We also lose about 18 rig days a year to problems caught late.

Bring your own number to the conversation.

If the figure above is large enough to be worth an hour of your time, the next step is one rig, read-only, and a floor view in weeks.
