Use 1.00× for salary-only math, or ~1.20–1.40× to include benefits/payroll/overhead.

The executive question:
Are you paying high-value employees to operate software—or to produce the outcomes you hired them for?

Model: software-work tax = salary × loaded-cost multiplier × (software-work hours ÷ annual working hours). The Employee OS comparison uses your current 20% pricing model. Adjust assumptions to match the prospect.
